We&#8217;re missing lots of players but we have to hang in there and try to get through this hectic run of fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMentally the players are in a good place: they&#8217;re fighting and battling till the end with real intensity. The problem is that we don&#8217;t have many players available but we just have to make the best of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stan Lobotka expressed his joy after scoring the match-winning goal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m delighted with my goal. I hadn&#8217;t scored for quite a while, but what really matters is it won us the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe needed to shake ourselves up a bit and give our fans something to cheer about. We&#8217;re pleased with the result and now we&#8217;ll try to climb back up the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have lots of games in Serie A and the Champions League and we&#8217;re having to do it without a full squad because of the various injuries. We&#8217;ll try to recover and keep competing for our targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antonio Vergara was a happy man after making his full debut:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m thrilled, both with my performance and the fact that we won. When the boss told me I was playing I felt a sense of incredible joy. I hope I was able to do myself justice out there. It was a surprise for me and a pleasure to have played in a match that we wanted to win at all costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Napoli 1-0 Sassuolo (HT 1-0)<\/strong><br><strong>Scorer<\/strong>: Lobotka 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAPOLI<\/strong>: Milinkovic-Savic; Beukema (Noa Lang 56), Rrahmani (Buongiorno 67), Juan Jesus; Di Lorenzo, Lobotka, McTominay, Spinazzola; Vergara (Mazzocchi 62), Elmas (Politano 56), Hojlund.<br>Coach: Stellini (Conte suspended).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SASSUOLO<\/strong>: Muric; Walukiewicz, Idzes, Muharemovic, Doig (Coulibaly 81) Vranckx (Iannoni 54), Matic, Lipani (Moro 89) Fadera (Skyellerup 81), Pinamonti (Cheddira 89), Lauriente.<br>Coach: Grosso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referee: Fourneau.<br>Booked: Vranckx, Iannoni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0131-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587510\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0131-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0131-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0131-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0131-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0131-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0131-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0131.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0126-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587504\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0126-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0126-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0126-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0126-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0126-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0126-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/cdn.sscnapoli.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20260117-WA0126.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Lobotka was today&#8217;s match winner<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A goal by Stanislav Lobotka was enough for Napoli to earn three points at home to Sassuolo on Saturday.
