In this top-of-the-table clash counting for the 13th day of Serie A, Naples and Roma had the obligation to follow the pace imposed by AC Milan, winner this Saturday over Lazio. And it was ultimately the Neapolitans who struck first. In the 36th minute, Neres opened the scoring with an excellent serve from Højlund, cementing the visitors’ mastery. Returning from the locker room, Manu Koné’s team tried to react, increasing their attacks, but without ever finding the fault.
This success allows Naples to carry out an excellent operation in the ranking by climbing to second place. Roma slips to fourth place, but remains in contact, just one point behind Naples and AC Milan. Serie A thus offers a completely tight top table where four teams – Inter, Milan, Naples and Roma – are close together.
