Victor Osimhen hit a brace as Rudi Garcia began his tenure as Napoli boss with a 3-1 win over Frosinone.
A Abdou Harroui penalty had given the newly-promoted side the lead but strikes from Osimhen, either side of a Matteo Politano effort, ensured that the defending Serie A champions began with a win at Stadio Benito Stirpe.
Despite a strong start against the Serie A champions, newly-promoted Frosinone were left empty-handed at home in their opening league match of the season.Frosinone, roared on by their fans in the Italian heat, opted not to sit back and allow the favourites to roll over them, but instead took the game on from the opening minutes. Their efforts, and their pressure, brough early reward, and it was the home side who took the lead in the seventh minute, thanks to a well-earned penalty.
