Politano Inspires Napoli’s 2-0 Win at Lazio to Stay Within a Point of Milan

The result keeps the champions one point off Milan with Inter still to play for a chance to retake first.

Overview

  • Spinazzola scored on 13 minutes and Rrahmani on 31, both set up by Politano’s deliveries from the right.
  • Napoli controlled the opening half in possession and attempts, while Lazio had roughly 30% of the ball and created little.
  • Late tempers flared as Noslin was dismissed for a second yellow and Marusic and Mazzocchi were sent off after a confrontation.
  • Napoli move to 37 points in the 18th round, sitting one behind Milan, with Inter hosting Bologna later and able to reclaim top spot.
  • Lazio remain on 24 points in ninth after the home defeat, mustering only a late effort that struck the woodwork.
