The match is over already, Inter Milan 1-0 Napoli. It is the first lose for Napoli during this season.
Napoli dominated the match but they couldn't score a single goal. Inter Milan defense played solidly today, I appreciated it very much for Inter defenders. They finally can stop Osimhen and other Napoli attackers, they won without any conceded goal. I am very sure that this winning will improve the mentality of Inter Milan players since they defeated the strongest team in Serie this season. I believe Inter Milan still has a chance to finish in the 2nd place.

inter milan was able to beat Napoli which had been difficult to beat in the italian league, on the other hand juventus and milan won their first game after the world cup break, this victory could strengthen milan's position and juventus were not far behind by napoli, moreover napoli will meet juventus in next match

Napoli lost against Inter. But the thing is that is not going to worry them too much. Because they have already won another match after that. I can see they’re already won a match against Sampdoria. So they are still at the top of the table. And they have a good lead. Now in the next match, they are going to play against Juventus. I am not sure how this match is going to play out. But I believe that Juventus has the ability to win against Napoli. And this match is going to be a close one. Remember if Juventus win, there will be getting closer to the first position and Napoli will be under more pressure.

watching  live see much pressure coming from inter Milan who has already recorded a goal, and is becoming more difficult for Napoli to score, even with having osimen in the field and not giving him the space at all to perform is magic,  watching different attacks coming from inter Milan, the unbeaten record is about changing tonight because I see much seriousness from the way inter Milan is playing 

In less than 10mins, Napoli unbeaten run for the past 15 serial A league match will come to an end.
And it is Inter that decided to end the run.
Meanwhile Napoli still has the time to maintain their record just by scoring a goal to equalise the score delivered by Dzeko in the 56th minute.
The 3 attackers that started the match has been substituted apart from Victor Osimehn and I think Napoli is in a very need of a goal to keep their record valid.

Finally, Napoli is about to lose their first league game since the beginning of the season, and Inter Milan is the team that has defeated the current league leaders if the match should end in the favour of Inter Milan and the man Edin Dzeko gave the home side the led in the 56th minute of the game is the only shot on target that has been seen in this game as at the time of this post it's indeed a strong match between the two teams but with less than 30 minutes left before the final whistle is blown, I hope Napoli will turn the score line around and with Victor Osimhen still on for Napoli, who knows if he will do the magic to get the equalizing goal for Napoli.

Juventus managed to win in the end, at the end with a free kick.

the 3 points are the only thing that matter.


The big game is going ring now with Inter winning against Napoli!

Napoli conceded the first goal of the match at the beginning of the second half. Edin Dzeko scored the goal in the 56th minute of the match. So is Napoli's dominance in Serie A coming to an end? Napoli was undefeated for a long time. And they were at the top of the table. I wouldn't say Napoli's performance was bad today. However, Inter Milan is an experienced team. Napoli should have been more tactical to win against them.

Inter and Napoli are quite interesting now, the score changed after Dzeko scored 1 opening goal a while ago but Napoli's attack at this time still hasn't let up and of course this is very good for them especially they have to do this.
30 more minutes of normal time will end. Whether Napoli will get its first defeat now, it's interesting to watch.

I wouldn't expect too many goals from the Inter - Napoli game. Both sides play on Safe and it is also the first game after the winter break. Not much action on the field either. AC Milan has come a little closer to Napoli through a hard-fought away win. It must be said that they were already 0-2 ahead within fifteen minutes, so it wasn't really that difficult. Juventus won, for that team it doesn't matter much how they win the games at the moment. A tough game, but the more they will enjoy the last minute winner.

 The game was very difficult for Juventus, but they still managed to get three points. What is alarming is that it was a game with one of the weakest teams in Serie A. The first half of the match Inter - Napoli ended in a draw, but with the advantage of Inter, they created more dangerous chances at the gates of Napoli. I think they have a better chance of scoring a goal in the second half, Lukaku needs to be a little more nimble, he lacks speed against the Napoli defenders.

And it turns out that the Inter milan vs Napoli match was quite fierce. even though Napoli carried out more attacks but Inter's defense was quite sturdy. and hard to penetrate. the first half ended in a 0-0 draw. And if Napoli can hold Inter milan to a draw in this match then at least that will make Napoli unbeaten this season. And if you lose, Ac Milan will get closer to Napoli's points. because the difference in points continues to decrease. So if Napoli wants to stay safe at the top of the standings, then getting a win or a draw is a pretty good thing.

That was bad from Juventus, but still 3 points. I thought there would be more than two goals, but the starting line-up with 3 very young players was probably not good. Fagioli, Soule and Miretti were also substituted. Yet 7 games in a row not lost and only one of them a draw. Now everything is looking at Inter Milan against SSC Napoli and the 1:0 is currently probable.

Napoli is currently in very good form. Napoli managed to bring 13 wins and 2 draws this season.
currently Napoli vs Inter Milan and playing at home to Inter Milan, even though it looks very easy for Milan to beat Napoli, Milan still has to be careful with Napoli's attacking team.
because currently Napoli has a very great line of attackers and cannot be taken lightly. this will be a pressure for Milan to be stronger in keeping the goal from conceding.
if Napoli can beat Inter Milan, it will really embarrass Inter Milan itself.

AC Milan has had a difficult victory, but they will not care much in Milan. Won is won. Incredible that Juventus still managed to win the game in the stoppage time of the game. They had luck on their side this time, but it wasn't really convincing at all. The topper Inter - Napoli is still 0-0, but we have only reached the end of the first half. So there can only be a few more goals to fall. But 0-0 also seems a realistic final result to me, since both teams do not want to lose. A draw for Napoli will feel like a win.

Finally seeing some games, all the other leagues started a bit earlier and seeing this one to be a bit later than usual is a bit weird considering they could have started last week if they wanted to. In any case, Napoli is strong favourites to win the league, no matter what happened, it is still a good team and I believe that they are going to be the champions this year.

There is this "championship DNA" type of thing in sports, where a team that previously got it, would know what it takes and a team that never got it, would fail at the last seconds. This is what Napoli should fear, but they are too far ahead, I doubt it would really happen.

Cremonese not able to convert their vital chance but Injury time goal from Milik give vital win, and now they are having fifth match with clean sheet which is impressive for them specially after break things looking good because now situation is clear for them in league table for having spot into top four currently Napoli is playing against Inter and AC Milan won their match against Salernitana which allow them two points gape from Juventus and strong hold on their second spot six points behind leaders Napoli.

Lazio also lost his match against Lecce which is clearly indicating now they have to stay out of top four Roma also won their match and now having same points like Lazio but here Lazio is ahead of them just because of goal difference.

Juventus didn't have a good day despite winning the match by 1-0 at the end.

Because they weren't comfortable even a bit during the match. Cremonese performed way beyond the expectations in this one. If their goal wasn't disallowed maybe we were going to be talking about a completely different result. Milik's save was like in the last minutes and this match must be a big lesson for Juventus. They will need to be much better than this next time. Because next time the opponent is Udinese which are a more powerful team than Cremonese. The biggest test is Napoli of course which is right after the Udinese match. Some injured and important players will hopefully be back until then.

Ac milan was able to perform better in the match earlier, Stefano Pioli seemed to be able to make his team play more aggressively in the first half because he was immediately able to put pressure on the host through the attacks they built. Leao, as expected, was able to make the hosts lose concentration after he was able to score a goal in the 10th minute. After winning 0-1, AC Milan's game was interesting again and the many opportunities they created so Tonali quickly doubled their advantage until the end of the first half, AC Milan was able to take the lead 0-2. Selertinana tried to play better in the second half after Ac Milan decreased the tempo of the game because they were already 0-2 up but in the end Selertinana was able to score a goal in the 83rd minute through Bonazzoli which in the end this match ended with a score of 1-2 for Ac Milan's victory.

you're right, Spezia didn't really take advantage of the opportunities when they were leading 2-0, in fact Atalanta played better in this match it's just that their defense was not strong after they focused on attacking and attacking, luck for Atalanta in this match because they were 2 empty behind  able to try well enough to equalize until the end of the match. In my opinion, Atalanta performance has really decreased in their last 5 matches because until Week 16 Atalanta is still difficult to return to the top 4 rankings.

So, in the ongoing match we see Napoli vs Inter Milan, a big match match between the standings leader and the 4th ranked team. I want to see Napoli lose the match so that the competition at the top of the standings will be even more interesting in the upcoming matches.

Juventus were almost held to a draw by relegation team Cremonese, what's more, Cremonese had a goal in the first half but unfortunately the goal was disallowed for offside. Can't imagine if the goal was passed by the referee it would have two possibilities, Cremonese defended it well or Juventus could respond well too.
But yes, it was lucky that the goal from Cremonese was disallowed and it was lucky that Juventus were able to score a goal in the final minutes before the match ended.

Regardless of the final result of Juventus and currently, the match between Inter v Naapoli is underway and has entered the 25th minute but still no goals have been scored. Even so far Napoli can control the game by mastering ball possession, but even though Napoli can win in ball possession it still does not guarantee Napoli will win.
Because it could be that when Napoli was focused on making an attack, then Inter would counterattack which could have Inter scored first. So yes, because so far they are still drawing 0-0, I might assume that this match will be tough and maybe not many goals will be scored.
