Nervous Lazio, Napoli win in style: the “2-0 rule” strikes again | OneFootball

Napoli doesn't stop and scores a four at the Olimpico. Against Lazio, it ends 2-0, a result that certifies the state of grace of the Azzurri team, capable of securing their fourth consecutive victory with the same "English" scoreline across league and cups. A show of strength and maturity offered by Conte's men, who managed to dominate in terms of gameplay and handle tense moments, emerging unscathed from a tricky away game.

Napoli, show of strength in Rome: gameplay and solidity beyond referee controversies

The match had two faces: a one-sided first half, with Napoli dominating the field in terms of intensity and offensive plays, which could have led to a heavier deficit, and a second half of management. Maurizio Sarri's Lazio, back on the bench after a forced break, couldn't find the tactical countermeasures, gradually slipping into nervousness. The match was indeed fragmented by continuous interruptions and protests, with Zaccagni and Guendouzi often in conversation with the referee, a testament to the growing frustration among the Biancocelesti ranks.

In the end, there were no shortages of referee controversies, sparked by Noslin's expulsion and a contested handball by the home team, episodes that, however, do not erase the technical superiority expressed by the visitors over the ninety minutes. The only sour note in Napoli's perfect afternoon is the injury of David Neres, who left the field early: his condition will be evaluated in the coming hours. With this victory, the Azzurri send a strong signal to the Milan teams: Napoli is also in the race for the top.
