The host remarkable effort to score pave way for them as Fabián Ruiz got himself in the score sheet with a well curled ball to give the opener beyond goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski in style, with that goal extending the ‘Rossoblù’ run without a clean sheet against ‘Gli Azzurri’ to 17 consecutive matches which is not really a good results for them.

Despite Napoli going one goal up in the renamed Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at the back-end of last year, Bologna problem increased in the game as it turned out to be the hand of Gary Medel that would cost Bologna a second goal just before the break.

The ball happens to have struck the Chilean defender’s arm after he mis-calculated his jump and this lead to the result of a VAR check, after the check referee Marco Serra pointed to the penalty spot as Lorenzo Insigne step forward to take the kick, despite the player having missed three penalties this season, but the Napoli captain decides to take the kick and made no mistake converting the ball in the back of the net to make it 2-0 for the host.

However, their visitors having lost six of their previous seven visits to Naples, Bologna’s task was always going to be a difficult one as their chances of getting a point in this game was nothing to right about as the host never gave them chance with pressure been mounted on them, not even their talisman Musa Barrow was able to inspire or provide hope for the ‘‘Rossoblù’ side to rely on.

The promising Italian had however, mustered six goal contributions in his last previous four matches and a frustrated effort for the player in the early second period represented a frustrating evening for the visitors as their chances of getting back to the game looks difficult.
