Kevin De Bruyne scored two goals as Napoli secured a 3-0 victory over Frosinone in Serie A. The Belgian striker put Napoli ahead in the 29th minute from a retaken penalty after Rasmus Hojlund’s original effort was saved. Noa Lang added a second goal just before halftime, with De Bruyne sealing the win with a third goal in stoppage time.
Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay returned to action for Napoli after heart surgery, making his debut appearance in the final 30 minutes. McTominay's return came as a positive sign following his diagnosis with a mild, benign arrhythmia. Frosinone nearly took the lead in the first half when Hojlund’s close-range shot hit the post.
The Frosinone goalkeeper, Lorenzo Palmisani, also denied Hojlund a penalty in the 27th minute, initially ruling that the defender had come off his line. However, a video assistant review later found Palmisani had encroached, awarding the spot-kick to Napoli, which De Bruyne converted.
