Napoli Dominates Lazio with Spinazzola and Rrahmani Strikes
Today at the Stadio Olimpico, Napoli delivered a commanding performance against Lazio, claiming a 2-0 victory that keeps them right on Milan’s heels in the Serie A standings. From the very start, the game was shaped by Napoli’s intensity and precision, and it quickly became clear that Lazio would struggle to find their rhythm under heavy pressure.
The opener came early, just 13 minutes in, when Spinazzola found space on the left and connected with a precise finish, sending the ball past Provedel. It was a clinical strike, perfectly timed and executed, setting the tone for the rest of the match. The stadium, already buzzing despite the rainy conditions, was electric, though Lazio fans could hardly celebrate. Napoli’s dominance continued as they maintained possession and probed Lazio’s defense relentlessly.

By the 32nd minute, Rrahmani doubled the advantage with a brilliant header from a Lobotka free-kick. The goal was confirmed after a brief VAR check, marking Rrahmani’s first goal of the season. At this point, Napoli had fully asserted control, and Lazio appeared frustrated, struggling to create meaningful chances. Even a near miss from Elmas, who struck the crossbar with a header from a Neres cross, only emphasized how one-sided the first half had been.
The second half saw Lazio trying to respond, with Pellegrini sending in dangerous balls, but Napoli’s defense remained resolute. Gila and Juan Jesus were particularly effective in shutting down Lazio’s attacks, and the visitors’ counter-attacks continued to threaten, keeping the home side on the back foot. Napoli even made a few substitutions to maintain their energy, with Gutierrez and Buongiorno coming on to refresh the squad.
The match was not without drama, especially towards the end. Tempers flared, resulting in multiple red cards. Noslin received a second yellow and was sent off, while a late brawl between Mazzocchi and Marusic led to both players being shown straight reds. Conte himself had to intervene briefly to separate the players, though by then, the damage was done. Despite the chaos, Napoli’s composure ensured that the 2-0 scoreline remained intact until the final whistle.
This win was crucial for Napoli, who now sit just one point behind Milan, keeping their hopes alive in the title race. For Lazio, it was a tough day, with the team struggling both on the pitch and in discipline. Still, the stage is set for an exciting second half of the season, with Napoli demonstrating once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in Serie A.
