On Wednesday, in the Italian Super Cup, second-half goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata
helped Juventus register a 2-0 victory over Napoli.
Because of their Serie A triumph last season, Juventus won their place in this game, while Napoli was 4-2 win over the Bianconeri in the Coppa Italia final.
In the early trades, the league champions began brightly. However, the best chance to score in the first half fell to Napoli, with Andrea Petagna leading a concrete header to the goal saved by Wojciech Szczęsny.
With a risk-averse game plan of not losing rather than playing to win, both managers came out.
Half-time saw Andrea Pirlo replacing Federico Bernadeschi's ineffective Federico Chiesa, while Gennaro Gattuso fielded the same line-up for Napoli.
Almost immediately after the restart, Juventus took the lead, with the newly-introduced Bernadeschi seeing David Ospina clawing a goal-bound shot off the line.
Cristiano Ronaldo smashed a close-range finish into the roof of the net, the Serie A champions continued to raise the pressure and got the lead their dominance deserved.
This loss forced Napoli to search for an equaliser, and Gattuso almost immediately substituted Elif Elmas with Tiemoue Bakayoko, while Petagna left the field for Dries Mertens well.
Despite being on the backfoot, when Mertens went over in the box under a challenge from Weston McKennie, the Pertenopei got an excellent chance to draw level.
The referee initially waved play ahead, but VAR asked him to look at the foul again, and eventually revoked the initial decision.
However, despite Szczesny going the wrong way, Lorenzo Insigne missed from the spot, sending his left post's attempt wide.
In the 84th minute, Alvaro Morata soon came on for Dejan Kulusevski and sealed Juventus victory deep into injury time.
Szczesny made a spectacular save late in the game, and before teeing Morata to tap into an empty net, the counter-attack saw Juan Cuadrado sprint through on goal.
The purpose ensured that Juventus obtained the win and here, we will have a rundown of five talking points from the fixture.
