In Naples, Como recorded a 2-1 win over Napoli in the home debut for coach Massimiliano Allegri. Martin Baturina gave the visitors an early lead before Rasmus Hojlund equalized for the hosts, but a defensive error allowed Anastasios Douvikas to restore Como’s lead. Como held on for the result despite a disallowed stoppage-time strike from Stanislav Lobotka. Elsewhere, Lazio moved to two wins from two matches after Davide Frattesi scored in a 1-0 success against Genoa.
