On the evening, Napoli briefly climbed to the top of the Serie A table with usual leader Juventus breathing down their neck. Massimiliano Allegri's side forced to surrender in the 24th round match against Fiorentina.
The home team playing against the defending Serie A champions threw a serious challenge to their rivals. For a long time, they even played more actively, while the Bianconeri had to rely on luck when Gilo Dias' shot hit the post.
However, after the break, Juve showed their mastery and capitalized on the slightest opportunities. Federico Bernardeschi superbly converted a penalty at the beginning.
Despite the hosts' efforts to equalize the score in a great situation, one-on-one with goalkeeper Marco Sportiello, Gonzalo Higuain remained cold-blooded.
So, the visitors eventually celebrated a 2-0 victory and can now rejoice in the leader's position. Napoli will play against the dangerous Lazio tomorrow evening.
Results:
Fiorentina 0 - 2 Juventus
[0-1] 56' Federico Bernardeschi
[0-2] 86' Gonzalo Higuain
