Serie A: Di Lorenzo Seals Napoli's Narrow Win Over Lecce to Maintain Serie A Lead

Giovanni Di Lorenzo's 73rd-minute goal secured Napoli's 1-0 victory over Lecce, maintaining their top spot in Serie A and widening the gap to five points over Inter Milan.

Napoli edged past Lecce 1-0 in a hard-fought Serie A match, thanks to Giovanni Di Lorenzo's decisive goal. The win keeps Napoli at the summit of the league table.

Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Napoli struggled to breach Lecce's resilient defense. Di Lorenzo, who had a first-half goal disallowed, broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute. He tapped home after goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone fumbled Scott McTominay's header.

The victory extends Napoli's lead to five points over Inter Milan, who face Juventus in the Derby d'Italia on Sunday. Lecce remains in the relegation zone with just five points from nine games.

Napoli next faces AC Milan on Tuesday, while Lecce hosts Verona.
