Napoli started their Serie A title defense with a bang, securing a 3-2 win over Pisa in a thrilling match. Leonardo Spinazzola was instrumental in the victory, scoring a goal and providing an assist.


The Partenopei, who boasted the longest unbeaten streak in Europe's top-five leagues (10 wins, 5 draws), were expected to dominate the newly-promoted Pisa. However, the underdogs put up a fierce fight, pushing Napoli to their limits.


Despite Pisa's late fightback, Napoli held on to secure the win. Spinazzola's contributions proved crucial in the end, helping his team extend their unbeaten streak. The victory marked Napoli's fourth win in as many games to start the season.


The match began with a cautious tone, as Manchester City dominated possession in the opening half-hour but struggled to create meaningful chances against Napoli. Kevin De Bruyne and Scott McTominay couldn't capitalize on a couple of half-chances, and City's attack lacked creativity.


Napoli, however, showed signs of improvement before halftime and managed to break through in the 39th minute. A well-placed cut-back from Spinazzola found Billy Gilmour on the edge of the box. Gilmour took a moment to compose himself before unleashing a powerful left-footed shot that was deflected past Manchester City's goalkeeper, Adrian Semper.


Pisa pushed for a quick response and nearly succeeded when Mehdi Leris' close-range shot was spectacularly saved by Alex Meret at the near post. The visitors continued to pose a threat in the early stages of the second half, determined to capitalize on their pressure.




Alberto Gilardino's side was awarded a golden opportunity to level the score when Sam Beukema was given a harsh penalty for handball in the six-yard box. M'Bala Nzola stepped up and confidently stroked the penalty down the middle of the goal, giving Pisa a chance to get back into the game.


The final 25 minutes of the match at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona became a thrilling contest, with both teams vying for a winning goal. Napoli's quality eventually shone through, as Leonardo Spinazzola created space for himself on the edge of the box and delivered a stunning finish into the bottom corner.


The hosts sealed the win with eight minutes remaining, thanks to a clinical finish from substitute Lorenzo Lucca. Lucca expertly fired home Scott McTominay's pass, scoring his first goal for the club and securing three points for Napoli.




Pisa managed to reduce the deficit in stoppage time when Lorran tapped home from Samuele Angori's cut-back. However, it was too little, too late, as Napoli held firm to secure the win. The victory extended Napoli's unbeaten home run in Serie A to 13 matches (10 wins, 3 draws) under Antonio Conte.
