Sassuolo loses at the Maradona, 1-0 for Napoli
On the one hand, Sassuolo didn't come to Maradona to give away any discounts, on the other, Conte's men took to the field determined to break Napoli's run of draws in the last three league games.
The match began with a minute's silence in memory of Rocco Commosso, the Italian-American president of Fiorentina, who died at the age of 76 after a long period of treatment.
The Azzurri won 1-0 thanks to a powerful Lobotka strike that wrong-footed Muric and gave the Azzurri the lead just seven minutes into the match. Spinazzola pushed down the left and passed the ball to Elmas, who fired hard. The goalkeeper saved, but the rebound allowed Lobotka to volley in from the edge of the box and score.
Sassuolo tried to react, but Napoli contained Grosso's team's attacks, counterattacked, and continued to put the opposing defense under pressure.
Napoli wins and remains undefeated at home in official matches since December 8, 2024.
