Napoli started Serie A with a bang, conquering Hellas Verona 3-1 at the Bentegodi with an inspirational Lorenzo Insigne, but Elseid Hysaj saw red.
It had seemed like a dominant performance when Samuel Souprayen accidentally knocked a corner into his own net and Insigne set up Arkadiusz Milik with a magnificent remote-controlled pass.
Insigne and Dries Mertens combined to force a save, allowing Faouzi Ghoulam to blast in the rebound.
However, Hysaj almost ruined everything with his foolish red card and penalty, converted by Giampaolo Pazzini.
