SSC Napoli Remains Top of Serie A: AC Milan's Efforts Prove Futile as Romelu Lukaku Secures Early Victory
Napoli's Dominance Continues
SSC Napoli maintains its commanding lead atop the Serie A standings, extending its unbeaten streak to 18 matches following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over AC Milan at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday.
The Neapolitans controlled possession throughout the contest, creating numerous scoring opportunities but struggling to find the breakthrough against a resolute Milan defense.
However, just when it seemed Milan might escape with a point, Romelu Lukaku's moment of brilliance proved decisive. The Belgian forward, making his first start since returning from injury, latched onto a through ball from Piotr Zielinski and slotted home a composed finish in the 58th minute.
