"RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- David Neres scored in each half for Napoli as the reigning Serie A champion won the Italian Super Cup for a third time on Monday, beating Bologna 2-0 in Saudi Arabia. The teams met in Riyadh to decide a tournament played between the winners and runners-up of last season's league and cup competitions. Neres' 39th-minute opener was a worthy cup winner, his superb left foot shot"
"His second showed a different side to his attacking talents, as, with nearly an hour gone, he took advantage of a slack pass from Ravaglia and dispossessed John Lucumi before dinking the ball over the prostrate keeper. It was the second time the former Ajax and Sao Paulo winger has bagged a brace for Napoli since joining the club from Benfica in August 2024."
