Napoli 2-0 win over Salernitana

The Partenopei overcame a peculiar slump that resulted in them being eliminated from the Coppa Italia by the poorest club in Serie A last week with goals from Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Victor Osimhen on the road, respectively, on Saturday. After underestimating Cremonese a few days prior, Luciano Spalletti switched to a full-strength team, and Kim Min-jae was back in the starting XI and played the entire 90 minutes.

The Naples team defeated Salernitana on Saturday to advance to a far more significant matchup against Jose Mourinho's Roma the following week. As a consequence, Napoli joined Juventus (in 2013–14 and 2018–19) and Inter as the only other Serie A teams to achieve 50 points in the first half of a season (in 2006-07).  At this point in the season, no club has ever failed to win Serie A, and head coach Spalletti is aware that Napoli have a fantastic chance to win the championship for the first time since 1990.
