🏆 Napoli embarrassed by Frosinone and crash out of Coppa Italia again | OneFootball

Napoli have been eliminated from the Coppa Italia after a stunning performance from Frosinone.

Scorers: Barrenechea 65′, Caso 70′, Cheddira 90+1′ (P), Harroui 90+5′

The 2023-24 season continues to be one to forget for Napoli after the Serie A champions crashed out of the Coppa Italia in the Round of 16 for a second consecutive season.

The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona was stunned as Frosinone’s lethal finishing proved to be the difference over 90 minutes.

Giovanni Simeone initially had an effort ruled out by VAR for a handball, but a second-string Napoli side struggled to break the deadlock afterward.

And even while big guns Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo entered the pitch, they couldn’t find a way through.

Minutes after the substitutions, Juventus-owned Enzo Barrenechea scored his first goal for his current side after heading home a corner kick into the far right corner.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the hosts were stunned for a second time when Giuseppe Caso split two centrebacks and beat a diving Pierluigi Gollini.

A third via Walid Cheddira from the penalty spot helped pile on the misery before Abdou Harroui’s composed finish added a late fourth.

Newly promoted Frosinone currently sit 13th in Serie A, while Napoli were eliminated in their opening match of the competition yet again.
