A second-half strike by midfielder Matías Vecino earned Lazio a 1-0 win over Napoli on Friday, ending the runaway Serie A leaders’ winning streak of eight games.
After a goalless first half, Lazio went in front in the 67th minute through Vecino, who picked up a ball cleared by the Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and sent a stunning first-time shot from a distance which flew inside Alex Meret’s near post.
It was the first goal that Napoli have conceded since January, and jolted Luciano Spalletti’s side into life after their attacking talents had failed to shine.
The hosts pushed forward and Victor Osimhen headed against the bar with 11 minutes to go, with Lazio keeper Ivan Provedel denying Kim Min-jae on the rebound.
