Two flashes enough for Juventus to beat Napoli 2-0

Juventus beat Napoli 2-0 with goals from Alajbegovic and Boga, moving up the Serie A table to seventh place.

Juventus secured a 2-0 victory over Napoli at the Juventus Stadium, with two clinical finishes settling a match that lacked overall quality. Alajbegovic opened the scoring in the 74th minute with a well-struck effort from distance that deflected off the post before crossing the line. The young Bosnian's breakthrough came in a tightly contested first half where chances were scarce on both sides.

Napoli's task became significantly harder four minutes after falling behind when Marianucci was sent off for a second yellow card after committing a clear foul. With a numerical disadvantage, the visitors offered little resistance as Boga sealed the result in the 87th minute with a curling strike from outside the box that Meret could not keep out.

The win moves Juventus to 17 points and seventh in Serie A, while Napoli remains eighth with 14 points. Both clubs remain outside the European qualification places, with Lazio holding a commanding lead at the top of the table.
