Napoli vs Roma Summary

Napoli welcome AS Roma with their strongest squad since the return of winger Kvicha Kvaratskhelia. On the away side, Nicolo Zaniolo and Rick Karsdorp were not registered after both asked to leave. Coach Jose Mourinho's army is also absent. Zeki Celik is suspended, and Georginio Wijnaldum is injured.

The host team can quickly seize the initiative thanks to the home-field advantage. After just five minutes, Kvaratskhelia forced Roma goalkeeper Rui Patricio to make a stop. However, Kim Min Jae almost scored on his own goal with a header that went wide of the upright post, giving Napoli supporters a heart attack as well.

In the 17th minute, coach Luciano Spalletti's army opened the scoring after a classy tackle by Victor Osimhen. From Kvaratskhelia's left-wing cross, the Nigerian striker controlled the ball with his chest, took another beat with his knee, and then volleyed the ball into the net of Roma. It was Osimhen's 14th goal, helping him continue to lead the list of Serie A's top scorers in 2022–23.

Victor Osimhen had the opening goal for Napoli

Napoli persisted in applying more pressure to the opposing team's goal in an effort to score a second goal. However, Roma was able to keep the score at 1-0 going into halftime because of Patricio's skill. At the end of the first half, Giallorossi also had a chance to push Alex Meret into a save with Leonardo Spinazzola's volley.

Kvaratskhelia for Napoli and Nicola Zalewski for Roma both had scoring opportunities early in the second half but were unable to take advantage of them. Cristante's risky header in the 62nd minute prompted Meret to make another save. Soon after, Patricio had the opportunity to block a free kick from Hirving Lozano.

Stephan El Shaarawy, a replacement player, gave Roma the equalizer in the 75th minute. Napoli, on the other hand, has its own supersub. Giovanni Simeone scored in the 86th minute to give the blue-shirted team a 2-1 victory. Simeone's strike caused the bridge of Diego Armando Maradona's field to explode.

With this outcome, Napoli maintains its lead atop the Serie A standings with 53 points. The second Inter Milan club is presently 13 points behind Spalletti's team.
