Napoli 0-1 Lazio: Staggering Vecino ends Serie A leaders' winning streak
Lazio ended Napoli's eight-game winning streak in Serie A with a surprise 1-0 victory at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Matias Vecino scored the only goal of the game in the second half with a thunderous effort from distance in a frustrating game for the hosts.
Lazio's strong defense thwarted I Partenopei, who was largely limited to ranged efforts and struggled to break down the visitors.
Late chances presented themselves in Napoli, however, with Victor Osimhen hitting the bar and Kim Min-Jae's rebound brilliantly saved by Ivan Provedel as Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri inflicted just one second league defeat of the season to his former team.
Lazio nearly stunned the home fans within five minutes, Vecino heading in from Mattia Zaccagni's free-kick towards the far corner, but Giovanni Di Lorenzo was on hand to make a crucial goal-line clearance.
