Napoli vs
Como
Napoli showcased their strength with a commanding 3-1 victory over Como, maintaining their unbeaten streak for a sixth consecutive game. The match began with a bang as Scott McTominay stunned Como, finding the net in the very first minute, thanks to an assist from Romelu Lukaku.
Como kept their hopes alive when Gabriel Strefezza equalized just before the half-time whistle, assisted by Máximo Perrone. However, any momentum they gathered was quickly dashed as Romelu Lukaku struck again right after the break, restoring Napoli's lead.
As the clock ticked down, David Neres sealed the deal for Napoli with a late goal, aided by Lukaku's precise assist, bringing the final score to 3-1. This victory propels league leaders Napoli to extend their lead in Serie A to four points ahead of Juventus, although the latter has a game in hand.
Standing 10th in the league, Como put up a valiant effort but couldn't match Napoli's prowess.
