David Neres matches Careca, makes history as Napoli win the Supercoppa | OneFootball

David Neres was the name of the Italian Super Cup final this Monday (22), when Napoli defeated Bologna 2-0 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The Brazilian forward and former São Paulo player scored two goals and secured the title for the Partenopei.

What did Neres do that was special?

He became the second Brazilian to score more than one goal in the Italian Super Cup.

Before him, only Careca had done it, in 1990, against Juventus.

Is there another important detail?

Yes. It was the first time Neres scored in two consecutive official matches for Napoli, as he also netted a goal in the 2-0 victory over Milan in the semifinal.

An inspired moment for the forward.

And Napoli’s title?

It was the club’s third Italian Super Cup in history.

The second one won in a final decided in regular time.

Why is 1990 remembered?

That year, Careca scored two goals in the 5-1 rout over Juventus.

Now, another Brazilian once again makes history in the tournament.
