Lecce vs Napoli

Italian club Napoli got back on track in their Serie A campaign with a 2-0 victory over Lecce on Monday night. The game was marked by a bizarre own goal from Lecce defender Fabio Lucioni, which put Napoli ahead in the first half.

Napoli had been struggling in recent weeks, with just one win in their last five league matches. However, the victory over Lecce will provide some much-needed relief for manager Gennaro Gattuso and his team.

The game started off evenly, with both sides creating chances in the opening exchanges. However, Napoli took the lead in the 28th minute thanks to a bizarre own goal from Lecce's Fabio Lucioni. The defender attempted to clear the ball from inside his own penalty area, but his clearance ricocheted off the back of team-mate Nehuen Paz and looped over goalkeeper Gabriel.

Despite the bizarre nature of the goal, Napoli were not complaining, and they continued to press for a second goal. Lecce had their chances too, but were unable to convert them into goals, with Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret making a number of key saves.

The second half saw Napoli dominate proceedings, with Lecce struggling to get a foothold in the game. Napoli's second goal came in the 79th minute, when Hirving Lozano finished off a swift counter-attack to seal the victory for the home side.

The win moves Napoli up to sixth place in the Serie A table, just three points behind fourth-placed Atalanta. They will be hoping to build on this result and put together a strong run of form as they push for a place in next season's Champions League.

Overall, the game was a mixed bag for both teams, with Napoli deserving winners on the night. The bizarre own goal from Lecce's Lucioni will no doubt be a moment that he will want to forget, but for Napoli, it was a stroke of luck that helped them get back on track in their quest for a top-four finish.
