While Juventus has been at the top of the Serie A rankings for at least a day, the black and whites have only one effective move left against Napoli at home: 1-0.
Napoli already appear to have forgotten about extending the national title they won convincingly last year. In Turin, newly appointed coach Walter Mazzari’s team performed well but could not do justice to it.
Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny made great saves to prevent Giovanni Di Lorenzo from scoring twice. Dribbling queen Chvitsja Kvaratschelia then also fouled the Pole after a stunning counter-attack, but she drove the ball well over the goal.

Minimalist Juventus stood tall and scored at half-time. Last week defender Federico Gatti gave his club victory midway through stoppage time and the hard-working man was once again the match winner. Gatti headed towards the goal after Dusan Vlahovic’s measured cross.
Napoli then did their best but couldn’t get further than Victor Osimhen’s goal being disallowed due to offside.
On Saturday, Internazionale can regain the lead if they get at least one point against Udinese. This should be without Denzel Dumfries and Stefan de Vrij; Both suffered muscle injuries in last week’s 3-0 match against Napoli.
