Rafael to Marek Hamsik to Gonzalo Higuain. Too easy, but so lovely.
It was a boring start to the match, but Jose Callejon changed that just before the half hour mark. Napoli raced forward and got the ball in to the box, and Callejon slipped in behind the defense to hammer it home.

The cross from Jonathan De Guzman was lovely, but the positioning, leap, and header from Gonzalo Higuain was even better as he beat Gianluigi Buffon and equalized the score at 1-1 in the Supercoppa Italiana.
Speaking of power, look at how hard Dries Mertens hits this. Mirante gets a hand to it, but he's lucky it stayed attached to his arm. This was also Mertens' first Serie A goal of the season.

A FANTASTIC run from Duvan Zapata ultimately helped set himself up for Napoli's third goal, and Slovan Bratislava look helpless.
