On late Monday evening, the leader of the Italian championship "Napoli" added another victory to their account. The South Italian club crushed "Cagliari" with a 5-0 score in an away game. Maurizio Sarri's team needed some time to warm up, but already in the 15th minute, Dries Mertens struck dangerously. However, if Leonardo Pavoletti had soon taken advantage of his opportunity, the match could have turned out differently. The latter's attempt hit the crossbar, and just before the end of the first half, "Napoli" took the lead with a goal from Jose Callejon. Just before the break, Mertens also scored his goal. The second half entirely belonged to the visitors. Marek Hamsik increased their lead in the 61st minute. Later, after a handball by Leandro Castan, Lorenzo Insigne converted the penalty kick earned from his previously successful pass, and Mario Rui scored the final goal from a penalty kick. Since yesterday's match between Turin's "Juventus" and Bergamo's "Atalanta" was postponed, "Napoli" increased their advantage over the closest pursuers to four points. Result: 'Cagliari' 0 - 5 'Napoli' [0-1] 29' Jose Callejon [0-2] 42' Dries Mertens [0-3] 61' Marek Hamsik [0-4] 73' Lorenzo Insigne (from a penalty kick) [0-5] 90' Mario Rui
