In a hard-fought victory, Napoli secured a 1-0 win over Lecce, thanks to a lone goal by Piotr Gliemiroch. The Polish midfielder opened the scoring with a powerful strike, which, however, was later disallowed due to an offside position.
Despite the setback, Napoli’s vice-captain Lorenzo was not deterred, continuing to play a key role in the game, providing the assists and unlocking the opposition’s defense. Giovanni Di Lorenzo, in particular, was a standout performer, throwing in a number of quality balls throughout the match.
In the present, Napoli’s defense was solid, with Rrahmani, Good morning, and Olivera putting in a shift to ensure a clean sheet. Anguissa and Gilmour also had moments of brilliance, with the latter causing problems for the Lecce backline.
Despite having a tough start, Raspadori struggled to make an impact, making a few mistakes and failing to impress. Newcomer Ngonge was also wasteful, showing flashes of brilliance but ultimately disappointing.
In the second half, Lecce pushed hard for an equalizer, but Napoli’s defense stood firm. The introduction of Raspadori and Kvaratskhelia provided fresh impetus, with the latter’s pace and energy causing problems for the Lecce backline.
Belgian forward Lukaku finally found his range in the second half, becoming more effective and causing problems for the Lecce defense. Counted, his enthusiasm and malice were evident as he looked to make a difference.
Ultimately, Napoli’s patchy performance was enough to secure the win, with Lecce struggling to create clear-cut chances. The Partenopei will take the three points, even if it wasn’t a beautiful display of football.
