Hojlund goes wild again, Napoli takes down Cremonese
From the Super Cup to Serie A: Rasmus Hojlund is the man of the moment at home to Napoli. The Azzurri won 2-0 in Cremona thanks to a brace from the Danish striker, who has scored five times in the last five games played between the league and Super Cup by Antonio Conte’s men.
Thanks to this victory, the fourth in the last five Serie A matches, Napoli climbs to 34 points momentarily in second place, while Cremonese are 12th at 21.
Napoli unlocked the result on 13′ with Hojlund, scoring from two steps after Terracciano’s short clearance on Spinazzola’s earlier shot. Cremonese claims a penalty kick on 26′ after a fall in the Azzurri area, but Mariani shoots straight. The guests came close several times to doubling the score, which arrived at 45′ again thanks to Hojlund: the Danish player arrived first on Politano’s cross and found the 2-0.
In the second half, Napoli manages and tries to strike with sudden accelerations: at 59′ Neres comes close to the tic-tac-toe, at 74′ Hojlund comes close to a personal hat trick but is not precise. The result does not change any more: after the triumph in the Super Cup, Napoli also restarts in the league by getting a valuable away win.
