Napoli has fallen off from the first position as they could no longer keep to their consistency. Isaksen goal on the 79th minutes swept Napoli off their feet as they couldn't equalize the goal till the match ended, because Lazio defended the goal till the end to enable them walk away with three points from Diego Maradona Stadium. The farther till league gets, the tougher it becomes and only the strong will survive.
With Napoli's defeat in the match, of course, it has increased the level of difficulty in the competition for points in the standings because Lazio, who have played their fifteenth week, have also been able to collect 31 points which are generally the same as Fiorentina and Inter Milan even though the two teams have not played their fifteenth week match this season. But Lazio is currently no longer far behind Napoli and also Atalanta who are currently at the top of the Serie A standings.
Lazio really became a nightmare for Napoli, unexpectedly Lukaku and his colleagues would lose in two meetings, and now Napoli must give up the top of the standings to be taken over by Atalanta. Inter Milan and Fiorentina have the opportunity to overtake Napoli position, their previous match had to be postponed due to Edoardo Bove's medical emergency incident.
It must be admitted that the competition in the top four of the Serie A standings this season is more competitive, Juventus and AC Milan even seem to have difficulty penetrating the Champions League zone. Fiorentina and Lazio are dark horses this season, and the most impressive is Atalanta performance, Gasperini deserves praise for his team slick performance. His decision to stay so far seems to be the right one, he knows very well the quality and bargaining value of his team.
