Raspadori scores again as Napoli go fourth in Serie A

Giacomo Raspadori scored his third goal in three games as Napoli earned a hard-fought 2-0 win over Salernitana in Serie A.

After a lively opening from both sides, the reigning Scudetto champions took the lead when Slav Lobotka’s through ball found Raspadori who lashed the ball into the top corner.

Goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa then kept his side with a string of brilliant saves to deny Raspadori on two occasions and Matteo Politano.

Filipo Inzaghi’s side created some decent openings of their own with Lorenzo Pirola forcing a good save with a header from a corner.

The second half was a similar story with Rudy Garcia’s men dominating and they came agonisingly close to a second when Politano’s shot from distance clipped the crossbar.

And Ochoa kept out Zielinski stinging shot from the edge of the area after a corner.

The home side made three late changes but Napoli sealed victory through substitute Eljif Elmas’s curling effort into the bottom corner.

The win for Garcia’s side sees them climb into the top four while Salernitana remain rock bottom.

TALKING POINT

Napoli grind out another good result without Osimhen

Napoli were without Victor Osimhen again today as the striker remains injured. And with his future uncertain at the club, they showed they can rely on goals from other sources to make it five games unbeaten and recover from their poor start to the season.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH

Guillermo Ochoa (Salernitana): The 38-year-old goalkeeper was the best player by a distance, making several difficult saves throughout the game and created his own highlight reel. The Mexican, nicknamed Memo, was unfortunate to finish on the losing side.

How Genoa can suffer relegation this weekend

Genoa are still on the cusp of suffering relegation but safety is not impossible as they prepare for their penultimate game of the season.

The Rossoblu currently sit 19th in the Serie A table on 28 points, one behind Cagliari and two behind Salernitana. They face Napoli this afternoon in Lorenzo Insigne’s final home game, so they’ll have to overcome to odds to pick up three points against the Partenopei. Their future in Serie A is directly tied to Cagliari’s, so tonight’s match in Sardinia against Inter will also prove key.

Genoa can join Venezia in mathematical relegation today if they lose to Napoli and Cagliari either win or lose to Inter. In the first case, 17th place would be four points away, and in the second, it would only be three points away but occupied by Salernitana, who hold the head-to-head advantage.

Things would be different if Genoa lost to Napoli but Cagliari picked up a draw against Inter; in that case, a complicated situation could see all three relegation candidates finish on equal points after the final game of the season, which would see Genoa avoid suffering the drop.

A win for Genoa against Napoli obviously significantly boosts their chances of survival, so they’ll be hoping to pull off the impossible.
