Lazio Defeats Napoli Twice in 72 Hours, Tightens Serie A Title Race

Gustav Isaksen's decisive goal secures Lazio's second victory over Napoli, leaving them just three points behind league leaders Atalanta.

Lazio beat Napoli 1-0 in Serie A on Sunday, following their 3-1 Coppa Italia victory on Thursday, marking their third consecutive win at Napoli's home stadium.
Gustav Isaksen scored the only goal of the league match with a curling strike, exemplifying Lazio's direct and physical playing style under manager Marco Baroni.
Napoli, now second in the league, hit the woodwork twice during the match but failed to capitalize on their opportunities to reclaim the top spot from Atalanta.
Lazio's resurgence under Baroni has been fueled by a disciplined defense and effective counterattacks, moving them level on points with Inter Milan and Fiorentina in a tightly contested title race.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte expressed satisfaction with his team's effort despite the defeat, emphasizing the need for greater precision in finishing as the season progresses.
