Napoli Secures Narrow Victory Over Pisa to Maintain Perfect Start in Serie A

Posted on September 23, 2025

Napoli continued their impressive form in Serie A, securing a hard-fought 3-2 victory against newly promoted Pisa. This win keeps the defending champions at the top of the table, with a perfect record of 12 points from their first four matches of the season.

The match, held at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, saw Napoli take the lead through Billy Gilmour's first professional goal, which came in the 39th minute. However, Pisa fought back, leveling the score with a penalty from M'Bala Nzola in the 60th minute, just after Napoli seemed to be in control. Leonardo Spinazzola then put Pisa ahead with a stunning long-range effort in the 73rd minute.

As the match appeared destined for a draw, Lorenzo Lucca, who recently joined Napoli, scored a decisive goal in the 82nd minute, securing the win for his team. Lucca's strike was particularly poignant as it came against his former club.

Despite the victory, Napoli's performance was not without flaws, especially following their recent 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League. The team will be looking to improve as they prepare for their upcoming match against AC Milan at the San Siro.

Pisa, managed by Alberto Gilardino, remains near the bottom of the table with just one point from their first four games, highlighting the challenges they face in adapting to Serie A after promotion. Overall, Napoli's resilience and late-game heroics continue to solidify their status as title contenders this season.
