Napoli lifted the Italian Super Cup with a 2-0 win over Bologna in Riyadh on Monday, David Neres netting both goals to earn the league champions a deserved victory over the toothless Coppa Italia winners.
Neres opened the scoring with a stunning strike from distance six minutes before the break and found the net again in the 57th minute when Bologna were caught trying to play out of defence.
Bologna never looked like finding a way back into the game and Napoli could afford to waste several chances to finish off the game as a contest. Napoli, who beat holders AC Milan 2-0 in Thursday's semi-final, won their third Super Cup and first since 2014 while Bologna, who overcame Inter Milan 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw on Friday, failed at their first attempt to win the trophy.
