Final result Napoli vs Empoli (2-0)

Scorer: Lozano (pen 69'); Zielinski (88')

Red card: Luperto (Empoli, 74')

In the top five European leagues, Napoli is currently one of the two rare teams that are still unbeaten from the beginning of the 2022-2023 season. In Ligue 1, PSG is also overwhelming with 12 wins and 2 draws over 14 rounds, similar to the current Napoli. But the French team is not as stable as when they were held to a draw in round 4 and round 10, and Napoli, after two consecutive draws in rounds 3 and 4, won the last 10 matches.

The third time in history Napoli won 10 consecutive matches in Serie A. The previous two times took place under Mauzirio Sarri, including a 13-match winning streak from April to October 2017, and then 10 matches from December 2017 to February 2018.

Zielinski celebrates scoring 2-0 in the 88th minute

With 34 goals available, Napoli also owns the strongest attack in Serie A at the moment, averaging more than two goals per game. If including achievements in the Champions League and domestic leagues, Napoli has scored 54 goals since the beginning of the season, equal to Man City, only behind PSG (58 goals) and Bayern (80 goals).

At home to Diego Maradona yesterday, despite the lack of Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Amir Rrahmani due to injuries, Napoli still dominated with 75% of the time controlling the ball. They shot 18 times with four on target - compared to 6 and 1 for Empoli.

The difference was made in the 69th minute, when Victor Osimhen was fouled by Razvan Marin in the box, giving the hosts a penalty. On the 11m mark, Hirving Lozano dropped to the left corner. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario touched the ball but could not save Empoli. Napoli are the team with the most players to have taken at least one penalty in all competitions this season, in five European leagues, with Lozano, Matteo Politano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia and Piotr Zielinski.

In the 88th minute, Lozano continued to shine with a cross from the right to Piotr Zielinski to put his left foot in the near corner, sealing a 2-0 victory.

After the match, Spalletti denied that Napoli would easily win the Scudetto this season. Napoli only won Serie A twice in 1987 and 1990, when the legendary Diego Armando Maradona was still at the club. "I think there are more than seven teams that can race for the championship," Spalletti emphasized. "It is a very long road ahead with many potential dangers. We must always stay focused and remember that the three points are not based on values, but on the dreams and prospects of the team."

Joy doubled with Napoli when a few hours later, Milan was held 0-0 by host Cremonese. With these results, Napoli firmly hold the top with 38 points, widening the gap with Milan to eight points, and certainly keeping this position until the end of 2022.

Before the season pauses to make way for the 2022 World Cup, Napoli also met Udinese on November 12, and Milan played Fiorentina a day later. Serie A will return in early 2023.
