Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 1st position with 54 points and a positive goal difference of +22
Udinese, 10th position with 29 points and a negative goal difference of -8
What a disappointment for Napoli! Their goal was to secure a victory in the Serie A Week 24 match against Udinese on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. However, Udinese put up a valiant effort and managed to hold Napoli to a 1-1 draw. Napoli now sits at 55 points, closely followed by Inter with 51 points, who will face Fiorentina on Monday. Udinese has reached 30 points.
This was certainly a missed chance for Conte’s squad, as they couldn’t extend their lead at the top of the table. The Friulians showcased their determination, coming to Maradona ready to compete and earn points.
Napoli’s coach, Antonio Conte, was honored with the Philadelphia Coach of the Month award prior to the match. This recognition is certainly well-deserved, as he has led Napoli to maintain a strong position at the top of the league this season.

1 – Scott #McTominay is the only Napoli’s player with at least one goal with a header, with right-footed and also left-footed in the current league season; he is also the only midfielder to have achieved this in Serie A in 2024/25. Versatile.#NapoliUdinese #SerieA pic.twitter.com/C4CX4X4Vk1
