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.

Initially Juventus dominated the match slightly and they managed to score a goal to get the win in the first half, but in the second half Napoli began to increase their attacking intensity and managed to equalize in the 57th minute. After that the match became more balanced as both teams attacked each other for a second goal, but because of a foul the referee awarded a penalty and Lukaku successfully scored to give Napoli the win in the match.

This victory is very important for Napoli as they fight to stay in the Scudetto race this season with Inter Milan. This defeat made Juventus' unbeaten dominance begin to crumble because previously it was very difficult for any team to beat Juventus in Serie-A.

For Napoli to overturn Juventus first half goal and won in the second half shows how relentless Napoli is in the pursuit for the title this season. Napoli players were very skillful and tactical even when they were losing in the first half but they still kept the energy positive and achieve a home win. The pressure of Napoli players in the second half was very applaudable hence the reason why Juventus conceded a penalty and Romelu Lukaku converted it and sealed the win for his team.

Romelu Lukaku have been very helpful to Napoli since he signed for the club and i think Antonio Conte didn't make a mistake by insisting Napoli should sign him and he is indeed proving his worth. The most important thing in this game is that Napoli ended Juventus unbeaten run, maybe they will become more serious now that they have lost their first match of the season in the Serie A.
