The game
Napoli started by dominating possession and not letting Lecce take the initiative, but they didn’t create many chances at the start of the game. Even so, in the team’s first big opportunity, Di Lorenzo headed the goal hard and opened the scoring for Napoli. With the lead, the leader of the Italian grew in the match and created more, despite not having extended the scoreboard before the break.
Right on the way back to the second half, Lecce equalized with Di Francesco after the ball exploded on Meret’s post and returned to the middle of the area. However, the good moment for the home team did not last long. In the 19th minute, Gallo played back and goalkeeper Falcone failed badly in the move, allowing an own goal in favor of Napoli.
With the advantage on the scoreboard once again, Napoli did not take any more scares and secured another triumph in a historic Italian Championship for the club.
