Napoli opening the score in the 26th minute. A great combo move between forward Gonzalo Higuain and Lorenzo Insigne. Higuain giving the assist to Insigne defeating Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. Party at the San Paolo while Insigne runs to celebrate the goal.
Juventus still have to demonstrate they are still favorites to win their 5th consecutive Scudetto… something looking pretty tough ….
In the 62nd minute, bam bam bam! Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain scoring his first goal against Juventus! Higuain celebrating after defeating Juventus goalkeeper Buffon with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner.
Juventus scoring the honor goal in the 64th minute. The first goal as Juve player by Mario Lemina!!!
