AFCON 2025
Napoli edged newly promoted Pisa 3-2 in a dramatic Serie A clash at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, extending their perfect start to the season with four wins from four.
The hosts broke the deadlock late in the first half when Billy Gilmour netted his first senior club goal, steering a deflected effort into the far corner after neat work from Leonardo Spinazzola.
Pisa refused to fold and struck back just after the hour mark. A handball by Sam Beukema gifted the visitors a penalty, which M’Bala Nzola converted with confidence to level the contest.
Napoli regained control in the closing stages. Spinazzola turned scorer in the 73rd minute, cutting inside to fire home, before substitute Lorenzo Lucca punished his former rivals with a composed finish from a tight angle eight minutes from time.
The game seemed wrapped up at 3-1, but Pisa capitalised on a lapse from Giovanni Di Lorenzo in the final minute, with Lorran slotting in to set up a nervy finish. Napoli, however, held on to claim all three points.
The victory keeps Napoli top of the table with a flawless record, while Pisa remain stuck near the bottom, still searching for stability in their return to the top flight.
