Hojlund drives Maradona crazy: Napoli beats Juve 2-1 and flies to the top of the table.

At the Maradona, a big match unfolded that needed no setting: high tempo, constant duels, individual plays and an absolute protagonist, Rasmus Hojlund, who scored a brace that pushed Napoli past Juventus.

Conte's team started off decisively, imposing possession from the opening minutes and taking the lead as early as the 8th minute when Neres created a move down the flank, giving the Danish striker a single pass to slot home. The first half clearly depicted the evenness of the match: Juventus attempted to respond, but Spalletti, without a striker, was unable to create any real danger.

The Bianconeri had zero shots on target, while Napoli nearly doubled their lead through McTominay, who hit the post with a shocking save just before the end of the first 45 minutes. The second half changed tone. After an early save from Di Gregorio on Hojlund, Juventus capitalized on a midfield recovery and Yildiz equalized on a counterattack in the 59th minute, the only real flash of brilliance from a team that had struggled to find clear passing lines until that point.

Napoli took the blow, regrouped, and broke back. Substitutions gave the game a new tempo, while the introduction of Spinazzola and Vergara coincided with an increase in attacking pressure. The decisive moment came in the 78th minute: once again, Neres played a perfect ball from the left, and Hojlund rose above everyone else, heading the ball past Di Gregorio to make it 2-1, sending the stadium into a frenzy.

Juventus attempted to respond, but their play remained inconsistent and often frenetic, while Napoli controlled the game and counterattacked as soon as they found space. The four minutes of injury time didn't change the outcome of the match: Napoli finished with character, taking home a victory built on intensity, technical quality, and the impact of their center forward.
