Serie A: Napoli overpowering, draw between Empoli and Fiorentina

Napoli – Monza 4-0 and Empoli – Fiorentina 0-0 in the Sunday afternoon matches.

A star is born. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the talent bought by Napoli for 10 million euros, shows off, dppo Verona, another great performance dragging Napoli to an easy victory against a Monza almost never in the game.

The Georgian gave the first pearl in the 36th minute, with a shot on the turn worthy of the best Lorenzo Insigne. The doubling came already in the first half, in the midst of recovery, thanks to Victor Osimhen, also inspired. The Azzurri monologue continued in the second half, with Kvaratskhelia scoring another after a valuable dribble with a swerve into the penalty area. The 4-0 score was then scored by South Korean Kim, in the midst of the recovery, with a beautiful framing on the development of a corner kick. Of note, at home Monza, only a goal cancelled by former Petagna for a clear push on Rrahmani.

In the other match of the afternoon, few emotions at the ‘Castellani’ between Empoli and Fiorentina. In the first half, there was only one big chance on each side: Ikoné and Destro wasted. In the second half, Empoli remained in 10 at the 66th minute for a last man foul by Luperto sanctioned with red after VAR intervention. Fiorentina, however, despite the final siege and an injury defection, when the substitutions were exhausted, of the locals, who finished the match even in 9, did not take advantage. Of note was the injury to referee Marchetti, who was replaced in the 56th minute by fourth man Sacchi.
