On Thursday evening, two of Italy's best teams met in the round of 1 of the Coppa Italia: Napoli and Lazio. The southern Italians, who have regained their former strength under Antonio Conte and are at the top of the league table, suffered a surprise defeat. The Neapolitans' cup dream ended early with a 3:XNUMX defeat to the Romans.

The man of the evening was the Dutch midfielder Tijjani Noslin. The 25-year-old, who moved from Hellas Verona to Lazio in the summer for 15 million euros, impressively demonstrated his quality. With a spectacular hat trick (32nd, 41st, 50th minute) he almost single-handedly led the Biancocelesti into the quarter-finals. Particularly impressive: Noslin scored two of his three goals with headers after precise crosses.

Napoli managed to equalize to 36:1 through Giovanni Simeone in the 1th minute. But Antonio Conte's team showed too little attacking power as the game progressed to hold their own against a strong Lazio. In the end, the Neapolitans suffered their third Coppa Italia round of XNUMX exit in recent years - a bitter disappointment for the traditional club from the south.
