On January 14, Beijing time, the focus of the 14th round of Serie A, Napoli beat Juve 5-1 at home, one step closer to the first league title in 33 years!
This match is also considered to be the Serie A title race this season, as Napoli are far ahead in the table, while Juve have won eight consecutive league games and seem to be able to stop the leader.
However, in the opening 14th minute, Osmayne opened the scoring and ended Juve's 770-minute league clean sheet! In the 39th minute, Osmeyne assisted, and Kravachelia extended the scoreline, 2-0!
In the 42nd minute, Di Maria pulled a goal back, but in the second half, Rachmani scored twice, Elmas added the icing on the cake, and Napoli became the first team in 30 years to break the Juve goal five!
In this way, after 18 rounds, Napoli has 15 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss with 47 points, up to 10 points ahead of second-placed Juve! One more game ahead of AC Milan is also 10 points, 13 points ahead of Inter, the advantage can be said to be very obvious.
Napoli won Juve, Milan and Roma, only to lose to Inter in the first game of the new year, suffering their first defeat of the season, but the momentum is still very strong. Of course, it's just halfway through the season, it's still too early to say anything and it's not without the possibility of a reversal, but Napoli are indeed the favourites to win the title, and Italian goalkeeper Zoff said before the game that part of the Serie A title has already been awarded.
You know, the last time Napoli won the Serie A title was in 1990, the second time in the team's history, the first time was in 1987, when the core was Maradona! Now that the old horse has passed away, Napoli also hopes to use the first title in 33 years to comfort the king.
