Juventus claim crucial victory as Alajbegovic and Boga sink Napoli

Juventus returned to winning form on Sunday, securing a vital 2-0 victory against Napoli at the Allianz Stadium. The result provides a significant boost for Massimiliano Allegri's side, who were looking to bounce back after a difficult run of early-season form.

The deadlock was broken in the 70th minute when 19-year-old Kerim Alajbegovic fired a powerful strike into the net off the right post. The teenager's goal marked a historic moment, as he became the third-youngest foreign goalscorer in the history of this fixture.

Late drama seals home win

Napoli's task became much harder in the 75th minute when Luca Marianucci was sent off for a second yellow card after a challenge on Juan Cabal. With the numerical advantage, Juventus capitalized in the final minutes. Jérémie Boga added a second goal in the 87th minute, cutting inside from the left to curl a precise finish into the bottom corner.

The victory leaves Napoli struggling in eighth place, while Juventus successfully maintained a clean sheet to delight the home crowd. Despite the result, Allegri remained focused on his team's recovery, having previously noted that his squad was "wounded, not dead" before the match.
