NAPOLI DEFEATED BY JUVE

Napoli has been defeated by Juventus in a Serie A match played at the Juventus Arena, Torino on Saturday. Juventus won the match by 2-0. This was the seventh victory for Juventus in the ongoing Serie A League.

With the help of this victory, Juventus has retained its no. 1 spot in the points table. Juventus hasn’t lost even a single Serie A match in the current season so far. Antonio Conte’s team has played 8 Serie A matches so far and won seven of them. The remaining 1 game ended in a draw. Juventus currently has 22 points in 8 matches. In spite of losing this match, Napoli is still at no. 2 in the points table with 19 points in 8 matches.

There was no goal scored in the first 80 minutes of the match and the match seemed to be going towards a goalless draw. But, that wasn’t the case to be. The Juventus players lifted the standard of their game in the last 10 minutes and fired in a couple of goals to secure the win.

The first goal was scored by Martin Caceres in the 80th minute. The goal was set up by Andrea Pirlo. Just after a couple of minutes, the lead of Juventus was doubled when Paul Pogba put the ball into the net with a brilliant left footed volley from a distance of 25 yards.

Conte looked very happy after winning the match. In the post match press conference, the Juventus manager said, “Napoli had been playing pretty well in the tournament and to register a win against them was not going to be an easy task. But, the boys rose to the occasion and put up another brilliant performance.”

Napoli will play against Chievo Verona in its next match on 28th of October.
