Amir Rrahmani took advantage of poor Salernitana defending to score in stoppage time, lifting Napoli to sixth place, 20 points behind Inter. After falling down in the 29th minute to a breathtaking Antonio Candreva strike, the hosts rallied, with Matteo Politano equalizing from the penalty spot at the conclusion of the first half before Rrahmani finished the game with a last-minute win. 

The victory gave joy to home supporters who had been watching a team that strolled to the historic Scudetto last season put up a poor championship defense. But the three points came with a hefty slice of luck for Napoli. Deep into additional time, Salernitana goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa collided with Fazio while attempting to collect Giacomo Raspadori's free-kick, allowing the ball to wriggle to Rrahmani, who smashed home the game-winning goal.
