FantAntonio repeatedly combined with Robinho and created space for Nocerino to push up from midfield.
The Brazilian opened the scoring with a snooker-shot into the far bottom corner.
Stephan El Shaarawy wasted another good opportunity before Robinho knocked down a Cassano cross for Nocerino to double their lead.
Robinho also set up Ignazio Abate, who ran into traffic in the box and smartly rolled across for Nocerino’s tap-in.
Olimpia got one back in the second half through substitute Escalante.
