Matteo Politano tied 1-1 in the 24th minute as VAR disallowed Giacomo Raspadori’s goal in the 36th minute for offside. However, the Italian champions’ superstar Victor Osimhen netted in the 42nd minute after Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s assist.
In the 79th minute, Osimhen scored his 2nd goal in the match as the pass gave the same player that assisted him for his 1st goal – Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
