Napoli Starts 2026 with a Win, Closing in on Serie A Top Spot

Napoli began the year with a strong performance, defeating Lazio 2-0 at the 'Olimpico' and moving within one point of the Serie A leaders, AC Milan. Spinaicola and Rahman scored for Napoli, with Politano providing two assists. Lazio struggled to threaten Napoli's goal and finished the match with nine players after two red cards were shown to Noslin and Mazzocchi. The game was marred by tension at the end, with clashes between players and subsequent dismissals. Napoli now sits in second place in the league table, just one point behind the top spot.
