Napoli’s player put on quite a show against Sampdoria as they overcame their slump to win in Serie A by 1-0. Partenopei went ahead in the first hour itself with Andrea Petagna’s acrobatic goal in the 43rd minute at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Napoli who had been leading the table for quite some had run into bad luck at the end of 2021 first the 1-0 home defeat to newly-promoted Empoli then the 1-1 draw against Juventus a few days later.
The competition in Serie A is close this time around with Inter Milan and Milan occupying the top two spot and Napoli needs to close in on the game to stay in pursuit. Napoli was without Kalidou Koulibaly, Victor Osimhen and Hirving Lozano for the match still were sure that without a win they could bid their title hope this season goodbye and thus secured a crucial win for the team.
