Napoli defeats Frosinone 3-0 led by De Bruyne brace

Overview

Napoli secured a 3-0 victory against Frosinone at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium during the sixth matchday of the 2026-27 Serie A season, bringing their league total to 10 points. The match was defined by a significant officiating controversy when Rasmus Hojlund’s initial penalty attempt was saved by goalkeeper Lorenzo Palmisani. VAR subsequently ruled that Palmisani had moved off his line prematurely, resulting in an ordered retake by referee Ermanno Feliciani. Kevin De Bruyne converted the second penalty attempt to give Napoli the lead and finalized the scoreline with a second goal during stoppage time (90+4'), following an assist from Giovane. Noa Lang also contributed to the scoreline with a goal in the 29th minute, marking his first of the season.

Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri implemented a tactical shift from a 4-3-3 to a 3-4-2-1 formation, noting that it provided the team with a clearer identity, defensive stability, and improved pressing capabilities. This formation was supported by a convincing performance from Benoit Badiashile, who earned praise for his strong defensive play in his first start of the season. The match also marked the return of Scott McTominay, who played approximately thirty minutes following a 32-day absence due to a medical procedure for a benign heart arrhythmia.

Looking toward European competition, Allegri emphasized the difficulty of Napoli’s upcoming Champions League away match against Villarreal, noting the necessity of squad rotation and the importance of the return of players such as Anguissa and Olivera.
