Napoli 0-1 Lecce

Antonio Conte’s Napoli took to the pitch at the Stadio Maradona in Saturday’s 6pm kick-off for Matchday 29 of Serie A, facing Eusebio Di Francesco’s Lecce. Conte’s side aimed to secure a third consecutive victory to maintain the gap over their Champions League rivals, with Como and Roma five points adrift and set to face each other tomorrow at the Sinigaglia, while also looking to put pressure on second-placed Milan and close the gap to one point.

The Salento side, coming off three wins in their last five matches, have a three-point cushion above the relegation zone. Three minutes in, Siebert broke the deadlock with a winning header from Gallo’s corner, leaving Meret with no chance. Napoli (3-4-2-1): Meret; Beukema, Buongiorno, Olivera; Politano, Gilmour, Anguissa, Spinazzola; Elmas, Alisson Santos; Hojlund.

Manager: Conte. Lecce (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Veiga, Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Gallo; Coulibaly, Ramadani; Pierotti, Ngom, Banda; Stulic. Manager: Di Francesco.
