#1 Insigne proves his worth yet again

After being left out of Italy's crucial World Cup qualification play-off loss against Sweden in midweek, Lorenzo Insigne had a point to prove when he stepped out to play for his club in the weekend.

The forward spent 90 minutes on the bench as the four-time World Cup winners failed to overturn a 1-0 loss suffered at Stockholm in the first leg resulting in them not reaching the finals for the first time since 1958.

Insigne's performance on the night will only add to the misery of the Italians as they would feel that maybe he could have helped them given the form he is in right now. Napoli reaped the benefits of their fully fresh talisman as he combined well with teammate (for both club and country), Jorginho, to give them the lead.
