Napoli (SID) – Traditional Italian club SSC Napoli used the best game in Serie A to show strength on their way to their first championship in 33 years. The leader of the standings defeated Juventus, the defending champion, Turin, 5: 1 (2: 1) on Friday evening, and Napoli extended its lead over third-placed Turin to ten points.
In a balanced first half, Napoli were more effective. Midfielders Victor Osimhen (14) and Chiocea Carrachelia (39) put Napoli on the path to victory – World Cup champion Argentine Angel Di Maria, who had previously hit the crossbar, gave Juventus hope with his goal in the meantime (42). .
However, this did not last long: Amir Rahmani’s sweet shot (55) to make it 3-1 was too much for Torino, who then collapsed completely. Osimhen headed in unchallenged for his second goal (65), Aljef Elmas (72) perfected the humiliation.
Juventus, who started with ex-Frankfurter Philip Kostic and ex-Schalke pro Weston McKinney, have recently improved after a poor start to the season. Massimiliano Allegri’s side won eight consecutive league matches before losing to Napoli – though not always convincingly in terms of play.
On the other hand, Napoli took a big step towards the third championship in the club’s history thanks to the convincing performance. Top stalkers Milan are the lowest on points with Juventus, ten points behind soccer legend Diego Maradona’s former club.
