Two moments of magic decide a tense match
For 70 minutes, neither side could break the deadlock in a high-pressure encounter between two teams who started the day locked together on 14 points. Juventus defender Juan Cabal hit the woodwork during an open first half, but the game stayed goalless at the interval.
The breakthrough came from a moment of magic out of nowhere. Alajbegovic surged forward, drove towards the edge of the area and lashed a 20-yard effort into the top corner, in off the far post, to put the hosts ahead. It was a strike of elite quality from the Bosnia and Herzegovina teenager, and it finally gave Juventus something to defend.
Napoli’s task became much harder five minutes later when defender Luca Marianucci, already on a yellow card, received a second booking for a stamp on Cabal and was sent from the field. Down to 10 men, the visitors could not find a way back into the game.
Juventus sealed the three points three minutes from time with another long-range strike. Boga cut inside from the left flank and drove a low, unstoppable shot into the far corner to make it 2-0 and send the home crowd into celebration.
What the result means
The win eased the pressure on Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti after a patchy start to the season, and it lifted the Bianconeri to seventh in the Serie A table on 17 points — three ahead of eighth-placed Napoli. For Napoli, the defeat leaves them chasing the top six, with both coaches having gone into this match desperately in need of a result.
Juventus had not won at home since September, and the manner of this victory — two goals of genuine world-class quality in the final 20 minutes — made it feel like a turning point. Alajbegovic’s screamer will be replayed all week; Boga’s finish was just as clean.
