Napoli suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Lazio in their Serie A clash on December 8, 2024.
The match, held at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, was decided by a brilliant 79th-minute goal from Gustav Isaksen.
Lazio's substitute Tijjani Noslin delivered a precise through ball, allowing Isaksen to beat his marker and unleash a powerful left-footed strike into the top corner.
Napoli dominated possession and had several chances, including a header from André-Frank Zambo Anguissa that struck the post. However, their inability to convert opportunities proved costly.
This loss, combined with Atalanta's results, caused Napoli to lose their spot at the top of the Serie A standings. Lazio, with this victory, closed the gap on the leaders and continued their push for a higher league position.
