Just one day after the end of the previous "Serie A" round, Italian clubs took to the field again last night.
In the previous match, the country's vice-champion "Roma" met the newcomer "Carpi".
Rudi Garcia's pupils bounced back after losing to Genoa's "Sampdoria" and scored five goals against the team that arrived from "Serie B". Kostas Manolas, Miralem Pjanic, Gervinho, Mohamed Salah, and Lucas Digne scored for "giallorossi".
The only consolation for the guests was Marco Borriello's precise strike, but at the end of the match, Matos missed an 11-meter penalty shot.
In one of the most anticipated matches of this round, last season's just one step away from a UEFA Champions League spot "Napoli" clashed with Turin's "Juventus", defending the "Serie A" title. The "bianconeri" displaying poor form suffered another defeat.
In the evenly contested match, Lorenzo Insigne took Napoli ahead in the 26th minute, and Gonzalo Higuain doubled the lead after playing for just over an hour.
However, Mario Lemina narrowed the gap a few minutes later, but Massimiliano Allegri's pupils failed to expand the score.
The "Scudetto" holders remain in thirteenth place after another disappointment.
