Game against Como

The southern Italian team faced Como in the Italian Cup.

They drew 1-1 and lost 7-6 in an epic penalty shootout.

The Manchester United loanee impressed in the game and provided an assist for the team. The 23-year-old striker dug deep and played a lovely first-time pass from the corner to Antonio Vergara, who made no mistake with a clinical finish.

He was replaced in the 74th minute and Lukaku was replaced.

Hoylund did not have a shot on target during the game as he failed to cause any problems for the Como goalkeeper due to an impressive defensive display from the visitors.

He was once flagged for offside, but failed to complete any successful dribblings on the field.

The forward did impressively win all his ground duels but was only able to win four aerial battles against the visitors’ defence.

Hojlund’s next game will be on Sunday evening when Roma come to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Napoli now have time to focus on defending their league title, having been eliminated at the quarter-final stage of the cup and already eliminated from the Champions League.
