Napoli's Neres Steals the Spotlight in the Italian Super Cup Final
22 December 2025
Match Recap
The Brazilian winger David Neres starred as Napoli defeated Bologna 2-0 in the Italian Super Cup, played in Riyadh and streamed exclusively on the Eight app. Neres earned the Man of the Match award for a commanding performance that included a long-range strike and a late-second goal after pressing the defense.
Beyond his goals, Neres delivered precise passes and created several moments of danger, helping Napoli control the first half and seal the win in the final. Napoli had reached the final after beating Milan 2-0 in the semi-final and would later repeat the scoreline in the final against Bologna.
Napoli cap a domestic double in 2025, following their Serie A title in May after a fierce title race with Inter. Bologna’s run to the final was commendable, but Napoli’s quality shone through in Riyadh.
The Eight app banner and live stream underlined Napoli’s growing global profile.
Punchline 1: If Napoli’s season were a pizza, this was the cheese pull everyone wanted a bite of. Punchline 2: Napoli didn’t just win the duel; they left Bologna with a math problem: how to fit two trophies in one season and still have room for dessert.
