It is not the best match of Naples that we have seen this season, but the efficiency and the three points are there for the men of Luciano Spalletti, in Lecce (16th). Sans Victor Osimhenin recovery phase, the leader of Serie A regained a 19-point lead over their first pursuer, Laziobefore the other matches of the weekend.
As Inter showed earlier in the evening, held in check by Salernitana in the very last moments (1-1), nothing was done until the final whistle, and Napoli knew how to hold its victory, in spite of the good resistance of the players of Lecce.
The captain John DiLorenzo opened the scoring with a perfect helmet shot in the 18th minute, from a cross from Kim, allowing the Neapolitan club to take an early lead. But from the start of the second half, of Francis revives the 16th in Serie A with a shot at the near post which deceives Meret (52nd).
Eventually, it will take some luck, and help from the defender Antonino Gallo, who scores against his camp, to offer the three points to visitors after a cross from Mario Rui (64th).
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s teammates will therefore be able to calmly watch Lazio-Juventus on Saturday evening and focus on the Champions League quarter-final, the first in their history, against AC Milan at San Siro, Wednesday.
