David Neres delivered a stellar performance, scoring twice as Napoli secured the Italian Super Cup title with a 2-0 victory over Bologna in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The match, held on Monday, December 22, 2025, saw the reigning Serie A champions claim their third Super Cup triumph, adding to their previous wins in 1990 and 2014.

Neres's first goal, scored in the 39th minute, was a remarkable strike from 25 meters out, curling into the far corner of the net and leaving Bologna's goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia with no chance. His second goal, which came nearly an hour into the game, showcased his opportunistic attacking prowess. He capitalized on a poor pass from Ravaglia, dispossessed John Lucumi, and then deftly chipped the ball over the fallen goalkeeper.

This victory marks the second time that the former Ajax and Sao Paulo winger has scored a brace for Napoli since joining the club in August 2024. Neres signed with Napoli on August 21, 2024. Previously, he played for Benfica, where he won a domestic double. He debuted with Benfica on August 2, providing two assists to Goncalo Ramos in a 4-1 win over Midtjylland.
