At dawn on Saturday, the Bori club came from behind to beat Como 3-1 at home, with 31-year-old Belgian star Romelu Lukaku scoring a trio of goals, including a penalty, and adding two assists to his tally. To date, Lukaku has contributed three goals and four assists in the league this season, becoming only the fifth Poli player to record the most goals in five matches since Serie A reverted to a 20-team format in the 2004/05 season.
It is worth mentioning that before the start of the match, Coach Poli was honored with the Serie A Coach of the Month award for September. He led his team to three wins and one draw in four league matches last month, and the team is currently in first place in the league. Many fans, with their knowledge of the Bori players, witnessed the team's brilliance as the goal record was broken just 26 seconds into the game. The two new signings worked together for the first time this season, with Lukaku playing the ball to Scottish international McTomini, who has been rejuvenated since leaving United, scoring two goals in his last three games.
Despite trailing in the match, Comus did not give up on the attack and wing forward Shifesha leveled the score on 43 minutes through a long range shot. However, after the half-time break, Napoli continued to take the lead when Mateusz Olivara was kicked in the box and the referee awarded a penalty, which was converted by Lukaku to give his side the lead again. In the 86th minute, Lukaku sent a fine pass to the substitute Nerazzurri to seal the 3-1 win.
In their last six league games, the Bori have won five and drawn one, four points ahead of second-placed Zuyundas.
