Match Report

Spinazzola’s Early Strike

The match began with Napoli in control at the away ground. The breakthrough came through a man familiar with playing at the Olimpico, Leonardo Spianzzola, as he rocketed in a volley in the Lazio net in just the 13th minute of play.

Rrahmani for the Double

After winning a free-kick for Napoli, it was the defender on scoring duties. Amir Rrahmani pretty much buried the game in the 32nd minute with his header.

Conte XI Maintain their Stride

Conte’s team started well in the season; however, they lost 4 games out of the 17 they played. This put Inter and Milan in the first and second spots, respectively. However, Napoli are only 3 points short of the league leaders. With everything to play for and 17 game weeks to go, Conte’s men will do everything to do a back-to-back Scudetto double.

Inter hosts Napoli later this weekend for a potential top-of-the-table clash.

Adversity Voes for Sarri

On the other hand, problems keep piling up for Lazio’s manager, Maurizio Sarri, as the Italian club has sold Taty Castellanos to West Ham, and Boulaye Dia is at the AFCON. With both his strikers unavailable, the man of the hour, Noslin, is also suspended against Fiorentina after a red card was shown to him over the weekend.
