25 July 2020 Napoli 2-0 success over Sassuolo in a match between two teams that have nothing more to ask for in the championship. Both came from a defeat, the Neapolitans show that they care more, especially in the first half.

There is Milik between Callejon and Insigne in Gattuso's attack. De Zerbi has no Boga, Traore replaces him. After the Neapolitan dominance, the neroverdi seem without energy. The goal already arrives in the 8th minute, with Hysaj concentrating and right-footed from the edge, uncertain Tips that stretches late. Still Hysaj protagonist, this time as a finisher, Insigne rushes on the pit but is closed at the time of the shot. Insigne without luck even a few minutes later, when he is perfectly fished by Zielinski and kicks slightly to the side on Tips on the way out. Napoli is wary in defense and limits Sassuolo's speed exchanges. That when it passes is stopped offside (the Var in total catches a really millimetric pair, signals one sensationally escaped and confirms a correct decision by the linesman).

Zielinski sets up on his own from the distance twice, Consiglio rejects with some apprehension. Sassuolo took the field in the second half is more convincing, Napoli defends with some burrs. Berardi-Caputo-Berardi triangulation, Ospina opposes. Milik tries from the edge, Advice is attentive. The Pole got the golden ball a few minutes later on a cross after Hysaj's kiss, but he wasted his head miserably. Politano (who took over from Callejon) misses the knockout in the 87th minute when he hits the base of the post from the center of the area. On the other hand, Allan (who also took over from Zielinski) is not mistaken and is served at the limit and unloads his right in the low corner on the 93 '.
