Napoli Booed After Losing to Lazio, Putting Inter Possibly One Win From the Serie A Crown
Lazio capitalized on Napoli’s first home league defeat, and Inter can clinch the Serie A crown next week with two more results.
- On Saturday, Lazio defeated Napoli 2-0 at home, handing the hosts their first Serie A home defeat of the season and accelerating Inter Milan's march toward the league title.
- Inter Milan, which beat Cagliari on Friday, now leads Napoli by 12 points and sits 15 points ahead of Milan, positioning the team to clinch the Serie A crown next week.
- Matteo Cancellieri scored in the sixth minute, and Toma Basic added a second goal in the 57th minute after Lazio squandered a penalty opportunity in the 31st minute.
- Inter can claim the league crown if it wins at Torino next Sunday and Napoli fails to beat Cremonese two days earlier, ending the title race.
- Milan could still delay Inter's celebrations by winning its next two matches: at Hellas Verona on Sunday and at home to Juventus the following week.
