Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 5th position with 24 points and a positive goal difference of +9
Juventus, 2nd position with 33 points and a positive goal difference of +13
Juventus take back the 1st position, at least for a day, after winning the Serie A Week 15 game against Napoli on Friday 8 December 2023 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Italy. This is the second consecutive victory for Juventus who, with the three points earned overtakes Inter with one point more than Inter, on the pitch tomorrow evening against Udinese. Not good news for Napoli because this is their third consecutive defeat between the championship and the Champions League. Napoli, failed to overtake Roma and risks being overtaken by Fiorentina (played against the Giallorossi on Sunday) and Bologna.
The hero again is Federico Gatti. After the decisive goal at the end of the match against Monza, the Juventus defender also repeated himself on the night at the Stadium by scoring, in the 51st minute, the goal that earned the three points for Massimiliano Allegri’s team, with a header from a cross from Cambiaso. In the first 45 minutes of the game, there was a great opportunity for Juventus, with Vlahovic’s shot from close range blocked by Natan, and two for Napoli, first with Kvaratskhelia’s error face to face with Szczesny and then with the Polish goalkeeper was the protagonist of a great save on Di Lorenzo’s sure shot. In the second half, the Bianconeri immediately hit the post with Vlahovic, even if Orsato stopped everything for offside, before taking the lead. The last gasp of Mazzarri’s team corresponds to a goal disallowed by Osimhen in the 70th minute, with the Nigerian doing well to take advantage of a wrong clearance by Szczesny to find the equalizer, but everything was nullified by the offside of the same number 9 following a suggestion from Politano .
Juventus opened the score in the 50th minute. Federico Gatti defeated Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret with a headed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Andrea Cambiaso.
