Napoli claimed its third Italian Super Cup title on Monday, defeating Bologna 2-0 in Riyadh. David Neres was the star of the show, scoring both goals for the league champions. The first goal came in the 34th minute when Neres unleashed a stunning, curling strike from outside the area, leaving Bologna goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia with no chance. The second goal arrived in the 57th minute, as Neres seized upon a weak pass from Ravaglia to Jhon Lucumi and chipped the onrushing keeper from a wide angle. The win marked Napoli's first Super Cup title since 2014, while Bologna fell short in its inaugural attempt to win the trophy. The match was a one-sided affair, with Napoli creating scoring opportunities throughout, while Bologna struggled to mount any significant threats. Napoli's victory marked the third edition of the Italian Super Cup under the new format, which has been met with criticism from Serie A president Ezio Simonelli. In a pre-match interview, Simonelli hinted that the tournament may return to its original format next year, featuring a single, one-off game.
