Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Fiorentina, 12th position with 2 points and a goal difference of “0”
Napoli, 1st position with 6 points and a positive goal difference of +3
Mission accomplished! Napoli triumphed in the Serie A Week 3 match against Fiorentina on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. It's a complete disaster for Fiorentina, losing the home match. Meanwhile, Napoli is celebrating their victory with a score of three goals to one against Fiorentina. With a total of 9 points, Napoli holds the top position with a positive goal difference of +5. Fiorentina has dropped to 13th place with only 2 points and a negative goal difference of -2.
This is certainly a wake-up call for Fiorentina. Certainly, it's a chilly reception for Fiorentina. It's a disappointing return for Stefano Pioli, who finds himself back on the bench at this stadium after 2,351 days: the last time he was here was against Frosinone more than six years ago.
Here’s a summary of the game: The scoring began in the 6th minute when Kevin De Bruyne converted a penalty. Rasmus Højlund extended the lead in the 14th minute with an assist from Spinazzola, and Beukema added another goal in the 51st minute, assisted by Anguissa. Ranieri managed to score in the 79th minute. Milinkovic-Savic made a save against Piccoli in the 84th minute, while De Gea also had four impressive saves.
In Fiorentina's upcoming league match, they will host Como at home, while Napoli will take on Pisa at their home ground.
Previously, Fiorentina has managed to win just two of their last 10 league encounters with Napoli, drawing two and losing six. The two victories for Fiorentina occurred on April 10, 2022 (3-2) and October 8, 2023 (3-1).
Napoli remains unbeaten in their last seven Serie A away games against Fiorentina (W4 D3). They have lost only once in their last 16 league away matches against the Viola (W8 D7): that loss was 0-3 on April 29, 2018, featuring a hat-trick from Giovanni Simeone.
Napoli gained the advantage in the 6th minute. Kevin De Bruyne scored a penalty with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. The penalty was awarded after Pietro Comuzzo fouled Frank Anguissa in the penalty area.
⚜️ Fiorentina 0 - 1 Napoli 🔵
It's celebration time for Napoli as they catch Fiorentina off guard. In the 14th minute, Rasmus Højlund found the net with a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The assist came from Leonardo Spinazzola. What a fantastic debut for Højlund with this goal!
⚜️ Fiorentina 0 - 2 Napoli 🔵
Total mayhem for Fiorentina at the Franchi! Napoli is dominating the game. In the 51st minute, Sam Beukema netted a left-footed shot from very close range into the bottom left corner. He was assisted by Frank Anguissa after a corner. Corner taken by Politano, assist from Anguissa, Beukema scores just a few steps from the goal.
⚜️ Fiorentina 0 - 3 Napoli 🔵

At last, Fiorentina was able to close the gap. In the 79th minute, Luca Ranieri found the net with a left-footed strike from the right side of the box, sending the ball into the bottom right corner after a corner kick given away by Eljif Elmas. The ball came to Ranieri following a corner taken by Nicolussi Caviglia and a deflection from Lucca, allowing the Viola defender to score past Milinkovic-Savic with a strong shot.
⚜️ Fiorentina 1 - 3 Napoli 🔵
Napoli has achieved 54 Serie A victories over Fiorentina, more than against any other team (54 against Lazio as well). Conversely, Fiorentina has triumphed over Napoli 55 times in Serie A, with only Bologna (58) being a team they have defeated more often in the league.
Fiorentina started the season with two consecutive draws and could now equal their historic record. Notably, they have only drawn all three of their opening matches in a Serie A season twice before, in 1936/37 (including a match against Napoli) and in 2024/25.
Fiorentina has won seven of their last nine home Serie A matches, with just one draw (0-0 against Parma in April) and one defeat (0-2 against Como in February).
Napoli forward Matteo Politano has netted four goals against Fiorentina in Serie A. Politano has only scored more against Milan (six) and Genoa (five) in the top division. With one assist already in this tournament, he could achieve his 11th consecutive Serie A season with at least one goal and one assist—Piotr Zielinski and Paulo Dybala are the only other players to have accomplished this in all 10 previous seasons.
Napoli is the team against which Moise Kean has logged the most minutes in Serie A without finding the net (302); however, the Fiorentina forward has been the top scorer at home since the beginning of last season in the Italian top flight with 13 goals.
