Kevin De Bruyne Brace Fires Napoli to 3-0 Victory Over Frosinone

Kevin De Bruyne scored twice as Napoli secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Frosinone, with Noa Lang also finding the net. The hosts' switch to a new 3-4-3 formation paid dividends, while the return of Scott McTominay from injury provided another welcome boost for Napoli and Scotland supporters.
Napoli took control from the opening minutes, putting their opponents under sustained pressure. Rasmus Hojlund came close to opening the scoring early on, striking the post as the hosts threatened to take the lead.
The breakthrough eventually arrived from the penalty spot. De Bruyne converted the spot-kick at the second attempt after a VAR intervention, giving Napoli the advantage and setting the tone for the remainder of the contest.
Noa Lang soon doubled the lead, reacting quickest to turn the ball into an unguarded net and put Napoli firmly in control. The hosts dominated possession after the interval, managing the game comfortably while limiting Frosinone's opportunities to respond.
The final word belonged to De Bruyne, who struck again late in the match to complete his brace and seal an emphatic 3-0 win.
