An Italian shock, up to the best that Serie A can offer. In a match between two teams from the podium, Atalanta quickly took the lead after a lively start against Naples. Mateo Retegui opened the scoring in the 16th minute, taking advantage of a poorly cleared ball (1-0). The Neapolitans reacted quickly: Matteo Politano equalized in the 27th minute by recovering a lost ball in the area (1-1). Just before the break, it was Frank Anguissa's turn to deliver a perfect pass for Scott McTominay. The Scot thus gave his team the advantage (40th, 1-2) before the break.
Returning from the locker room, Ademola Lookman picked up the score for Atalanta (55th, 2-2). Lazar Samardzic had the opportunity to continue this momentum, but Meret anticipated his shot well (57th). On a superb cross from Anguissa, Romelu Lukaku placed a header in the right corner of the opponent's goal, allowing Napoli to regain the upper hand at the end of the match (78th, 2-3). With this success, without Khvicha Kvaratskhelia transferred to PSG, Naples consolidates its place as leader of the Italian Championship, with 50 points in 21 days. Atalanta remains 3rd, behind Inter but ahead of Juventus and Lazio.
