Juventus achieved a 2-0 victory over Naples at the Juventus Stadium, with goals from Alajbegovic and Boga in the second half, which allowed them to advance to seventh position in the Serie A table. The result, although it was not a football spectacle, was enough for the “Vecchia Signora” to obtain three important points on matchday 10 of the 2026-27 season.
The match began with a somewhat subdued first half and without much danger of scoring. The Azzurri, who already had a yellow card, had few opportunities and Italian goalkeeper Meret was solid against Napoli's few shots, including a shot from Lucca that was close to opening the scoring. The match remained balanced and without major advances, with Napoli trying to create chances from the corners and midfield.
In the second half, Juventus changed the pace. Alajbegovic, after receiving on the left wing, fired a powerful shot that hit the post and entered the net in the 74th minute, before Napoli lost Marianucci to a sending off. The 19-year-old Bosnian player took advantage of the numerical advantage and the goal gave Juventus a 1-0 lead. The expulsion, which occurred four minutes after the goal, left the Neapolitan team with ten players and without the possibility of reacting.
Boga sealed the victory in the 87th minute with a spectacular shot from outside the area, with a curvature that closed on the goal and that goalkeeper Meret could not stop. The goal ended the match with a resounding 2‑0 in favor of Juventus, which is placed in seventh position in the table with 17 points, while Naples is in eighth with 14 points. Both teams are still far from Lazio, which leads the competition, and are still out of the European positions.
With this victory, Juventus reinforces its position at the top of the standings and advances in the fight for a place in the UEFA Champions League or Europa League zone. Napoli, for its part, will have to look for a quick response in its next matches to regain the lost momentum. The next round of Serie A will be crucial for both teams, as they seek to consolidate their positions and get closer to European competitions.
