The drought is over: ‘Chucky’ Lozano's goal to break a curse and put Napoli 3-0.

The last time Hirving Lozano scored a goal in Serie A was on January 17th. Moreover, on that day the forward scored a double that meant Napoli's 2-0 victory over Bologna in matchday 22. Since then, the Mexican went through a bad streak that was finally broken this Saturday in the match against Sassuolo.

To achieve that conquest, the 'Chucky' went through everything from the first month of the year. In addition to the large number of official commitments in all tournaments that he played without scoring or assisting, the Aztec suffered an injury that kept him away from the field for three weeks and, after that, it was difficult for him to return to his best form.

In fact, in the previous matchday he already showed signs of improvement. Lozano provided an assist in the defeat against Empoli. So, with that injection of confidence and supported by Napoli's unstoppable start (already winning 4-0 in 21' of the first half), Hirving was key to increase the distance against Sassuolo.

The visiting team wanted to play out from the back. Thus, Maxime López received the ball with his back to the center circle. However, Dries Mertens immediately got into the opponent's position to take the ball away from him. At once, the number 14 of Napoli gained ground in the opposite half.

Then, Mertens played the ball wide to Víctor Osimhen, who accompanied the entire action. Afterwards, the African player looked up and saw Lozano on the opposite side. In that way, the attacker crossed the ball towards the far post for Lozano to throw himself onto the ground and push the ball into the net.

It is 'Chucky' Lozano's fifth goal in the current Serie A season. Likewise, the Mexican has a total of five assists and is the fifth most influential man in Luciano Spalletti's team, who celebrated in this match thanks to the goals scored by Kalidou Koulibaly (1-0), Osimhem (2-0), and Mertens (4-0). All within the first 21 minutes.
