Antonio Conte, who did not change his team, lined up Lukaku in the center of the attack with Matteo Politano and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia alongside him. Barely twenty-three seconds after the kick-off, the Red Devil served at the penalty spot Scott McTomninay (1st, 1-0). This early goal inevitably changed the tactical plans of Naples, who managed without being dangerous. By creating several chances, mainly on long-range shots, Como equalized through Gabriel Strefezza with a shot from outside the area (43rd, 1-1).

As soon as the restart, Lukaku gave Naples the advantage by converting from the left a penalty awarded for a foul by Sergi Roberto on Mathias Olivera (52nd, 2-1). This time, Napoli changed their attitude and attacked, exerting intensive pressure. The Lariani defense put up resistance until Lukaku propelled David Neres deep with a sharp pass (86th, 3-1).
Willem II and his Belgian colony inflicted a sixth defeat on Almere
In the Netherlands, Willem II inflicted their sixth defeat on Almere City with a goal from Amar Ahmed Fatah on a pass from Kyan Vaesen (78th, 0-1). The ex-Westerlo player played the entire match just like Rob Nizet and Mickael Tirpan while Cisse Sandra was replaced in the 74th. On the Almere side, Anas Tahiri left the pitch at the same time as Baptiste Guillaume entered the game (81st). After eight days of Eredivisie, Willem II is 5th (11 points) and Almere City is 17th (2 points)
In Italy, Verona won 2-1 against Venice, who opened the scoring with Gaetano Oristanio (3rd, 0-1). A point blank shot from Casper Tengstedt (9th, 1-1) and an own goal from Jesse Joronen (82nd, 2-1) allowed Hellas (9 points, 10th) to gain some distance from the last places in the ranking and from Venice (4 points, 19th). In Verona, Ayanda Sishuba remained on the bench. Richie Sagrado and Joel Schingtienne suffered the same fate on the Venice side.
In Saudi Arabia, Al Shabab and Yannick Carrasco lost 1-0 in Damac as part of the 6th day of the championship. Al Shabab remain third with 12 points, three less than Al Hilal, who travel to Al Ahli SC on Sunday.
