In a commanding display at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus secured a 3-0 victory over Napoli in the Serie A round 22 clash. Jonathan David was instrumental, scoring in the 22nd minute and later assisting Kenan Yıldız, who found the net in the 77th minute. Filip Kostic sealed the victory with a late strike in the 86th minute, ensuring Juventus maintained their dominant form.
Juventus Control Early Momentum
Juventus took an early lead through Jonathan David, who capitalized on Manuel Locatelli's precise pass to score in the 22nd minute. Napoli struggled to respond, managing only one shot on target throughout the match. The first half saw a yellow card for Napoli's Juan Jesus, reflecting their frustration as they tried to contain Juventus' attacking prowess.
Second Half Seals the Deal for Juventus
Juventus continued their dominance in the second half. Kenan Yıldız struck in the 77th minute after an assist from Fabio Miretti, showcasing their fluid attacking play. Napoli's attempts to regain control through substitutions, including the introduction of Eljif Elmas, did little to change their fortunes. Kostic's goal in the 86th minute, following a clever build-up, put the game beyond reach for the visitors.
Locatelli and David Lead the Way
Manuel Locatelli's influence was felt throughout, assisting the opening goal and maintaining a pass accuracy of 84%, while Jonathan David showcased his skill with two shots on target and a crucial early goal. Juventus' defensive stability was highlighted by their ability to limit Napoli to just one shot on target, with Khéphren Thuram impressing in midfield, winning nine duels.
Looking Ahead
Juventus' victory extends their unbeaten run, boosting their confidence as they push for a top spot in the league. Napoli, despite recent draws in challenging fixtures, will need to regroup quickly to maintain their position in the standings. Jonathan David's form will be key for Juventus moving forward, as his contributions continue to be pivotal in their quest for success.
