Napoli kept their Serie A title hopes alive with a tense 1-0 victory over bottom-placed Monza at the U-Power Stadium on April, 202. The only goal came in the 72nd minute, when Scott McTominay headed home from a Giacomo Raspadori cross, breaking the deadlock in a match that saw Monza defend resolutely for much of the game.
With this result, Napoli solidified their second-place standing in the league, now just three points behind leaders Inter after matches played. Antonio Conte’s side, featuring recent standout performances from Romelu Lukaku and Matteo Politano, dominated possession but struggled to break down a determined Monza defense until McTominay’s decisive moment.
Monza, managed by Alessandro Nesta, remain at the bottom of the table and are facing imminent relegation, having collected only points this season. Napoli’s win was crucial, especially as their title rivals face tough fixtures in the coming weeks.
Fans and analysts now turn their attention to Napoli’s next matches, as every point is vital in the tight race for the Scudetto. Will this hard-fought win be the spark that keeps Napoli’s championship dream alive?
