Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 1st position with 15 points and a positive goal difference of +6
Torino, 16th position with 5 points and a negative goal difference of -8

Torino won the Serie A Week 7 game on Saturday 18 October 2025 at the Olimpico di Torino Stadium in Turin, Italy.  Napoli suffered a defeat while Torino celebrated their second significant win of the season following their away triumph against Roma. This victory surely boosts Torino's morale as they rise to eight points in the standings, temporarily matching Cagliari and Udinese. In contrast, Napoli remains at 15 points, facing the risk of losing their top position.

The match was determined by a classic goal in the 32nd minute from their former player, Giovanni "El Cholito" Simeone. Giovanni found the net with a left-footed shot from the center of the box into the bottom left corner. Notably, Simeone refrained from celebrating, raising his hands in a gesture of apology with tears in his eyes. It's important to remember that Simeone spent three seasons at Napoli, contributing to their Serie A title win in 2023, and joined Torino on loan with an obligation to buy in August. Thus, for Simeone, it was a bittersweet moment.



Simeone received a standing ovation from both fans when he was substituted in the 62nd minute by Cyril Ngonge. This emotional gesture was surely appreciated by Simeone.

In the second half, Baroni's team defended fiercely, allowing very few chances until the 93rd minute, when Politano struck the post with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box, and Noa Lang equalized with a tap-in, but the Dutchman was deemed offside. This was undoubtedly a cold shower for Napoli, witnessing the stoppage time equalizer disallowed for offside.

Lang believed he had salvaged a crucial point for the defending champions in the third minute of stoppage time, celebrating by tearing off his shirt and rushing towards the away fans, banging on the barriers. Meanwhile, coach Antonio Conte celebrated exuberantly with his staff on the sidelines.

At the final whistle, the Granata fans erupted in joy for their first home victory of the season, marking the second consecutive away defeat for the reigning Italian champions.

In the upcoming round, the Granata will host Genoa at the Olimpico Grande Torino, while Napoli, after their Champions League trip to Eindhoven, will take on Inter at the Diego Armando Maradona.
