Napoli head home from Turin with no points after Juventus managed to claim a 1-0 victory.
Despite numerous chances for Walter Mazzarri’s side in the first half it was Juventus’ Federico Gatti who found the opener, powering in a header. Napoli then gave it all they had to find an equaliser but to no avail, with Victor Osimhen, Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia getting some good goalscoring opportunities.
Napoli will now dust themselves down and prepare for Tuesday’s Champions League fixture against Braga, a game in which the Azzurri can seal qualification to the next round.
