NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) – Napoli beat Bologna 3-0 in their lively Serie A home opener on Sunday, securing a first win for new manager Antonio Conte.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo gave Napoli the lead in first-half stoppage time, scoring with a simple finish from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s precise cross.
The Georgian winger then doubled the advantage in the 75th minute, netting a solo effort from the edge of the box, before Giovanni Simeone made it 3-0 from close range in added time.
Napoli, who were humiliated 3-0 at Hellas Verona last week, provisionally moved up to 11th in the standings. Bologna remain on one point following their 1-1 draw at home against Udinese last weekend.
