Napoli risked a crash after the Amsterdam triumph but conceded another brace, this time more difficult 4-1 at its headquarters Cremonese for the 9th matchday of Serie A.

The game at “Giovanni Gini” had a good pace from both teams, but the difference in capacity was obvious. The “Partenopei” had the upper hand, chances and a post and finally took the lead after a penalty by Matteo Politano in the 26th minute.

At the beginning of the second half, the home side equalized in a quick attack with Cyril Dessers and made it difficult for Luciano Spalletti. As always, the Italy coach had the solution on his bench and threw Simeone into play in the 57th minute. In the 76th minute, the Argentinian headed the far post after a cross from the left and gave the visitors the lead again.

With the game decided, Irving Lozano and Matias Oliveira were anointed scorers in added time in a dying battle in the closing minutes, lending their side’s victory dimensions of triumph.
