Torino surprised Antonio Conte's Napoli with a victory that showed character and concentration: the match ended 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, with the decisive goal scored by Giovanni Simeone , the former player in question, who out of respect did not celebrate but left the heaviest impression of the weekend.
Marco Baroni 's team showed heart, discipline, and an impenetrable defense, with Israel the standout goalkeeper. After Vlasic hit the post in the 15th minute, Napoli attempted to respond with two attempts from De Bruyne , but to no avail. The match was broken in the 32nd minute by Simeone, who capitalized on a defensive mix-up, skipped past Milinkovic-Savic (who was starting in place of Meret) and scored with a left-footed strike.
Torino came close to doubling their lead through Pedersen, while Napoli attempted to respond in the second half: Anguissa and Spinazzola tested Israel, but were unable to dent him. De Bruyne missed the clearest chance in the 68th minute, and Conte's team poured forward in the closing stages. Lang equalized in the 93rd minute , but VAR ruled it out for offside, resulting in a yellow card for the early celebration.
The match ends amid celebration for the Granata and disappointment for the Neapolitans: Torino flies to thirteenth place with eight points, while Napoli now risks overtaking Roma with a Giallorossi victory against Inter. Conte is left with a bitter taste in his mouth: his Napoli, tired and inaccurate, stumbles over the first real obstacle of his autumn tour de force.
