Juve's good move against Napoli

Juventus got the better of Napoli (1-0) this Friday evening, at the opening of the 15th day of Serie A. The Bianconeri are provisionally leaders.

This Juventus is not always attractive, but it continues to win. The Old Lady did well on this 16th day of Serie A by dominating Napoli (1-0) this Friday evening, during the highlight of the Italian weekend.

The reigning champions, not on a great night either, probably missed the boat in the first period on a counter led by Victor Osimhen where Khvicha Kvaratskhelia found himself all alone against Wojciech Szceseny, before completely missing his move ( 28th). At the start of the second half, Juve showed more realism by scoring the only goal of the match on a header from the colossus Federico Gatti (51st). This is the third goal of the season for the Italian defender, who had already given his team victory in Monza (1-2) last week.

This is enough for the happiness of Juve, who temporarily seizes the leading position by putting pressure on Inter, while pushing back a direct competitor for the Champions League, Napoli (5th), to 12 points. After a first victory at Atlalanta (1-2) just after the arrival of Walter Mazzari on the bench in place of Rudi Garcia, the reigning champions have just had three shocks and as many defeats, in Madrid against Real (4-2), against Inter (0-3) and therefore against Juve. Napoli will host Braga next week in the Champions League, with a small point to score to ensure qualification for the round of 16. But a victory clearly wouldn’t hurt the Partenopei’s confidence.
