Napoli players played very well and they won. Their performance was very organized. But I wouldn't say they dominated the match. 61% ball possession in this match. And Fiorentina players attacked more than Napoli players. Fiorentina players were able to make 16 shots. On the other hand, Napoli players made 8 shots. However, Napoli's gameplay was very organized. They kept their defense strong and then continued to attack. And every Napoli attack was very planned. Napoli's overall performance was very good. They got an excellent 3-0 win.
The Napoli team's play was quite effective so they managed to score 3 goals even though overall they didn't create more chances, this was quite an important victory for Napoli.
However, on the other hand, I feel that Fiorentina's performance was really bad enough in this match (unlike usual) so that Napoli was able to win with a fairly big score.

Napoli did win the match but I don't think that their quality has improved and are better, I still think that Napoli has a lot to improve, this victory cannot be separated from Fiorentina's underperformance.

Napoli were very tactical in this match. And I would say Napoli won this match because of excellent match strategy. Napoli players don't attack much. But each of their attacks was powerful. In the first half, Simeone's goal gave Napoli a 1-0 lead. However, in the second half they were able to mount several strong attacks. They found the weaknesses in Fiorentina's defense, and adjusted their match strategy accordingly. Since Fiorentina played an attacking strategy from the beginning of the match, their defense was not strong enough. The Napoli players used this opportunity very well. Two goals from Zerbin in the second half gave Napoli an impressive 3-0 win.
