Politano struck first and Kvaratskhelia sealed the deal. Napoli needed just 45 minutes to brush aside Monza, securing a 2-0 victory and moving to 13 points, capitalizing on Torino’s first league loss of the season, a 3-2 defeat to Lazio in the lunchtime fixture.
Right behind Conte’s men is Juventus, who cruised to a 3-0 win in Genoa thanks to a Vlahovic double and Francisco Conceição’s first goal for the club. Thiago Motta’s squad now sits in second place, ahead of Inter, who bounced back from their derby loss with a 3-2 win over Udinese. Milan, meanwhile, kicked off the weekend by thumping Lecce 3-0.
It was also a good weekend for both Roman teams, with Lazio and Roma each coming out victorious. Lazio pulled off a major win in Turin, with Dia once again starring, while Roma came from behind to edge Venezia 2-1, thanks to a goal from young Pisilli.

Empoli couldn’t break the deadlock in a 0-0 draw with Fiorentina in the Arno derby but maintained their unbeaten start to the season. Como continued their climb with a second straight win, following up their victory over Atalanta by defeating Verona 3-2 at home.
The final match of the 6th round takes place at the Tardini tonight, where Parma hosts Cagliari. The Crociati are hunting their first win since matchday two, while bottom-placed Cagliari will look to build on their Coppa Italia performance against Cremonese and, more importantly, claim their first three points of the season.
