67% Ball Possession NAPOLI and 33% Ball Possession JUVENTUS
Napoli 0 – 1 Juventus 
. 12′ Gonzalo Higuaín
Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 1st position with 38 points and a positive goal difference of +26
Juventus, 3rd position with 34 points and a positive goal difference of +26
| Pos | Team | P | W | D | L | Goals | DIFF | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Napoli | 14 | 12 | 2 | 0 | 35:9 | 26 | 38 |
| 3 | Juventus | 14 | 11 | 1 | 2 | 40:14 | 26 | 34 |
A total blow for Napoli who is the sole leader of the Serie A with 38 points risking to lose the first position. It is an important victory for Juventus shortening the distance reaching 37 points now being -1 point below Napoli. Inter is following closely with 36 points and can take the first position if they defeat Chievo Verona on Sunday 3 December at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.
Bam! It is precisely the BIG EX to open the score following a fast break! Yep, Argentinean forward Gonzalo Higuaín “El Pipita” defeating Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by forward Paulo Dybala. A tango goal with the 2 Argentinean making wonders. Wow, Higuain punishing his ex-team…..
