Salernitana vs Napoli

It was another good day for Napoli in their quest to end their Serie A title drought as they went away to Salernitana and won 2-0.

- 13 - The number of Serie A goals from Victor Osimhen. 83' GREAT STOP FROM MERET! But within four minutes either side of half time they fashioned two chances and took full advantage, while at the other end their defence remained stout ensuring the lowly opposition did not get a sniff until an unlikely error from Giovanni Di Lorenzo gave Krzysztof Piatek the chance to score which gave Alex Meret a chance to show he is a keeper worthy of a championship medal. 60' GREAT STOP FROM OCHOA! Giovanni Di Lorenzo (Napoli) - It really was a captain's goal just before half time, settling his side's nerves after their disjointed first-half performance. 35' GOAL FOR NAPOLI - OFFSIDE!

Napoli retains the lead for another week after beating Salernitana by 2 goals. Scores by Di Lorenzo and Osimhen.

Runaway Serie A leaders Napoli eased past Salernitana 2-0 in the Campania derby at the Stadio Arechi to bounce back from midweek Coppa Italia heartbreak.

Osimhen beat his man in the air, yet Ochoa pulled off a stunning save to keep the Serie A top-scorer at bay. Despite keeping his side in the game theoretically, the Mexican shot-stopper’s heroics were insufficient to help Salernitana avoid a sixth defeat in seven league matches (D1). The defender connected with a cross on the edge of the six-yard box, but his glancing header rattled off the left post. But Osimhen was quick to the rebound, stabbing home from point-blank to give Napoli a comfortable two-goal cushion. Faced with a Herculean task, Salernitana shifted the dynamics of the game briefly and came close to pulling one back through Lorenzo Pirola. As it’s often been the case this term, Spalletti’s men refused to settle for a single-goal margin.

Napoli further extended their grip on the Serie A title race on Saturday by beating local rivals Salernitana 2-0 to temporarily move 12 points ahead of the ...

Napoli had one scare with seven minutes remaining when Alex Meret did superbly well to tip Krzysztof Piatek's low drive onto the post, and that save made sure of a potentially huge three points for a team who are seemingly having everything their way. "We know we have a potentially once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we need to work with that in mind," said Spalletti. Goals from Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Victor Osimhen immediately either side of half-time made sure that Napoli will be at least nine points clear at the halfway point of the season after a straight-forward win in soaking Salerno.
