February 18, (THEWILL) – Italian Serie A leaders Napoli secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Sassuolo, with a dazzling display of football and a piece of Napoli history for Victor Osimhen.
The win extended Napoli’s unbeaten run to seven consecutive Serie A matches, as they continue to lead the league with a 15-point advantage over second-placed Inter Milan. It was also a day when Osimhen broke the club record by scoring in for the seventh consecutive game to go past Gonzalo Higuain.
From the very start of the game, Napoli displayed their attacking prowess and constantly put Sassuolo under pressure. Georgian winger, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, opened the scoring for Napoli in the 12th minute with a brilliant solo goal, and Osimhen added a second just before the break.
Despite Sassuolo’s attempts to get back into the game, including a disallowed goal, Napoli maintained their dominance until the final whistle. With this latest victory, the I Partenopei took one step closer to winning their first Scudetto since the days of Diego Maradona.
Luciano Spalletti’s side will carry their momentum into their upcoming Champions League Round of 16 tie against Eintracht Frankfurt, hoping to continue their impressive run of form.
