Juventus unbeaten record ended in Napoli hands, and the big match ended with a score of 2-1 for Napoli victory. Regardless of the course of the match, the result keeps Napoli at the top of the standings, while Juventus is in fifth place, their efforts to break into the top four have not succeeded. Losing Kvaratskhelia who moved to PSG, apparently did not reduce Napoli performance, Conte was able to handle it very well.

Napoli got another important win and created presure on Inter Milan by temporarily expanding point difference to 6 points. It's only a first match without Kvaratskhelia in Napoli squad and it's early to conclude that their performance won't be affected by this player departure. Maybe they will see issues from his absence in future matches, but at least in this big clash with Juventus, they played well and won it without him.

I was pessimistic that Napoli couldn't continue their performances after the first goal was scored. new Juventus players are very keen to take advantage of opportunities; I can see how the Napoli squad is struggling to equalize the score since Kvaratskhelia move to PSG. But, Napoli have another great player who can continue it. Conte optimist because Napoli has stock to continue the performance. Now, Napoli have 6 different points with inter, even inter still have 2 matches plaikng yet, but with this situation This first place can give Napoli squad confidence to maintain it until week 38.

Napoli are showing very good performances in Serie A and Conte is doing his management very well for them. They don't have too powerful attack but Conte manages to use available player resource and maximize their player contributions with proper tactics. They are collecting as many points as possible with some minimal wins, and are still in right track of winning Scudetto.

Inter Milan will play their match today, but a temporary 6 point difference now, seems to have some more pressure on Inter Milan. Theoritically, they can have same points like Napoli after playing all 22 matches, but it only happens if they win all two matches and there is risk of losing points too.

Napoli dealt Juventus their first league defeat of the season, completely flipping the game in the second half. Juventus started stronger, with Kolo Muani capitalizing on Lobotka’s mistake to open the scoring. However, Napoli took control after the break. Zambo Anguissa delivered a brilliant header, and Lukaku calmly converted a penalty after Locatelli's foul.

Juventus couldn’t turn things around, even with substitutions. Napoli’s home victories over Juventus are becoming a regular occurrence, and they show no signs of slowing down. Once again, the Neapolitans have demonstrated that they are serious contenders for the Serie A title this season.
