According to Tasnim news agency, on the second day of the matches of the 37th week of Italian Serie A, a game was held today (Saturday) in which third-placed Napoli defeated Genoa 3-0.
In this game, which took place at the Diego Maradona Stadium in Naples, Victor Osimen scored in the 32nd minute, Lorenzo Insigne in the 65th minute from the penalty spot and Stanislas Lobotka in the 81st minute scored three goals for Napoli. With this result, Napoli increased their difference with Juventus to 7 points just one week before the end of the season, so that even if Juventus wins this week’s game, they will still not be able to reach the third place. In this way, Luciano Spalletti’s students will finish the season in the worst position in the third place, but they still have a chance to win the runner-up title.
This was Lorenzo Insigne’s last game for Napoli in Naples, and he said goodbye to the fans of his beloved team with tears in his eyes to get ready to go to the American MLS.
Genoa, however, conceded their 17th defeat with 28 points and remained in the penultimate position of the table. This means that if the 17th-ranked Salernitana draws even one draw in their last game of the season, Genoa will be the second team relegated to the second division after Ventzia.
Tonight, two more games will be held in Serie A, in the first game from 20:30 Tehran time Milan will host Atalanta and in the second game from 23:15 Cagliari will host Inter.
In the Serie A standings, AC Milan, Inter, Napoli and Juventus are first to fourth with 80, 78, 76 and 69 points, respectively.
