NAPLES – Napoli preserved their perfect Serie A start with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over promoted Pisa on Monday at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, maintaining their lead at the top of the table. Lorenzo Lucca’s 82nd-minute strike proved decisive, securing all three points for Antonio Conte’s side despite a late scare.
Match Highlights
Napoli took the lead in the 39th minute when Billy Gilmour scored his first-ever club goal, a deflected effort. Pisa fought back, leveling the score through M’Bala Nzola’s composed 60th-minute penalty. Leonardo Spinazzola restored Napoli’s advantage with a stunning long-range strike in the 73rd minute—his first goal since February—before Lucca, facing his former club, thumped home the winner. Pisa’s Lorran pulled one back in the 90th minute after a Giovanni Di Lorenzo error, but Napoli held firm to avoid a late draw.
Serie A Standings
The win keeps Napoli atop Serie A with 12 points from four matches, two points clear of second-placed Juventus (who drew at Verona) and three ahead of Roma and AC Milan, who round out the top four. Pisa, managed by Alberto Gilardino, remain second from bottom with just one point.
Napoli’s Mixed Form
The performance was lackluster, coming off a 2-0 Champions League defeat to Manchester City on Thursday. Conte’s side now faces a crucial trip to the San Siro next weekend to take on AC Milan, who play Lecce in the Italian Cup on Tuesday.
Lucca’s clutch goal underscored Napoli’s resilience, but Conte will demand more as they aim to sustain their title charge. Stay tuned to TV84.pk for updates on Napoli’s campaign and Serie A action.
