Benevento player, Roberto Insigne, scored against Napoli in the Serie A match and broke down in tears during the celebration. The reason was that he experienced his first years as a player at Napoli and was formed there.

Scoring against your ex-team can end in many ways. With a provocative celebration, asking for forgiveness... in the case of Roberto Insigne, brother of Lorenzo who plays for Napoli, there were tears. He scored against the club of his dreams, where he was formed.

It was in Napoli's match against Benevento. He got a ball from the side of the box after a good passage of play from a teammate to keep the ball in and he beat the goalkeeper at his post. His shot was high, low, and powerful.

But the most striking thing was when his teammates got close to congratulate him. He couldn't hold back the tears and was very emotianal to score against the team where he experienced his first years as a player. He spent time at the under 19s and didn't manage to make his debut for the first team.

Unfortunately for him, their paths separated, as he never managed to attract so much attention as to settle in the Napoli first team. He found a new destination at Benevento, where he has now spent his third season in a row as a protagonist.
