Napoli Stunned by Como, Losing Serie A Lead to Inter Milan

A 2-1 defeat against promoted Como extends Napoli's winless streak to four matches, setting up a pivotal clash with Inter next weekend.

Napoli fell to a surprise 2-1 defeat at Como, with an own goal by Amir Rrahmani and a late winner from Assane Diao sealing the result.
The loss leaves Napoli one point behind reigning champions Inter Milan, who narrowly defeated Genoa on Saturday to reclaim the Serie A lead.
Como, backed by wealthy owners, moved to 13th place in their first Serie A season in over two decades, bolstered by strong winter signings like Diao.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte admitted his team showed mental cracks and emphasized the need for growth in mentality as well as tactics.
Next Saturday's match between Napoli and Inter in Naples could have significant implications for the Serie A title race.
