Napoli 2-0 Bologna, Supercoppa Italiana: David Neres' Brace Sees Antonio Conte Scoop First Silverware
David Neres scored in each half for Napoli as the reigning Serie A champion won the Italian Super Cup for a third time on Monday, beating Bologna 2-0 in Saudi Arabia. The teams met in Riyadh to decide a tournament played between the winners and runners-up of last season’s league and cup competitions. Neres’ 39th-minute opener was a worthy cup winner, his superb left foot shot from 25 meters out curling into the far corner and giving an outstretched Federico Ravaglia no chance in the Bologna goal.
