Napoli Matches Atalanta at Serie A Summit with Late Raspadori Goal

Giacomo Raspadori's decisive strike secures a 1-0 victory over Venezia, bringing Napoli level on points with Atalanta in the league standings.

Napoli's Giacomo Raspadori scored in the 79th minute to clinch a 1-0 win against relegation-threatened Venezia, just nine minutes after being substituted onto the pitch.
The victory moves Napoli to 41 points, tying them with Serie A leaders Atalanta and putting them one point ahead of defending champions Inter Milan.
Venezia goalkeeper Filip Stankovic was instrumental in keeping the game competitive, saving a penalty from Romelu Lukaku and making several critical stops throughout the match.
Despite Napoli's dominance in possession and chances, Venezia created dangerous opportunities, including a near goal from Hans Nicolussi Caviglia's free kick that was cleared by Alex Meret.
Raspadori's performance comes amidst speculation about his future at Napoli, as he has struggled for playing time under manager Antonio Conte this season.
