Juventus won a shock victory against Naples (2-0) this Sunday evening, during the 10th day of Serie A. After a lively first period, but without a goal, the Bianconeri ended up making the difference after returning from the locker room. Kerim-Sam Alajbegovic broke the deadlock in the 70th minute with a superb left-footed shot from distance, unstoppable for Meret. A first goal which freed Luciano Spalletti’s men, before Jérémie Boga came to make the break in the 87th minute.

Having struggled in recent weeks, the two teams approached this meeting with the ambition of relaunching their season. Napoli, however, had several opportunities in the first half, but came up against a great Vicario, while Cabal found the post for Juventus. The Neapolitans’ task was further complicated with the expulsion of Marianucci in the 75th minute, after a second warning. This success allows the Old Lady to regain color in a major shock, while Naples leaves Turin with new disillusionment.
