Luis Alberto and Daichi Kamada of Lazio, the runners-up from the previous season, defeated Napoli 2-1 on Saturday in Serie A to give Maurizio Sarri's team their first points of the year while the hosts suffered their first loss. Although Napoli easily defeated Frosinone and Sassuolo in their first two games, they were unable to execute enough to pass what was anticipated to be their first true test under new coach Rudi Garcia, who succeeded Luciano Spalletti in June.
Out of the 22 shots they had in the game, just four were on goal, while Lazio had six overall. After losing to Serie A newcomers Genoa and Lecce, Lazio, who were in the relegation zone, are currently in 12th place with three points from three games, while Napoli is in fourth place with six points from three games. For the first time since 1937, the Rome-based team has triumphed at Napoli in back-to-back games.
