Inter Milan played at the same time, facing Como away from home, and opened the scoring first, at 19 minutes into the game.
Stefan de Vrij's goal put the Champions League finalists in the lead of the Italian Championship.
Of course, the information quickly reached Naples and created tension among the fans at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
The home team pressured Cagliari, but couldn't get past the opposing defense for most of the first half.
At 41 minutes into the first half, Scott McTominay scored the relief goal for Napoli.
The Scotsman received a cross from Matteo Politano and hit a beautiful volley to score and open the scoring.
In the following minutes, several flares were lit inside and outside the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, producing beautiful images.

Napoli continued to dominate the game in the second half and extended their lead thanks to their top scorer in the championship.
Lukaku received the ball just after midfield, gave a great dribble to Yerri Mina and carried the ball until he entered the area and finished off the goalkeeper.
Inter Milan also scored 2-0 almost at the same time, with Joaquín Correa, but by then the title was more than on its way to Napoli.
Coach Antonio Conte was not on the sidelines on Friday after being expelled in the last round.
He watched the game from the stands and made history by becoming the first coach in history to win at least one Italian title with three different teams.
Conte had already led Inter Milan (2020/21) and Juventus (2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14) to the national title.

Milan run into problems for Vlahovic, Rabiot and Zinchenko
Milan are trying to give Max Allegri reinforcements, but Adrien Rabiot wants to stay at Olympique Marseille, while Dusan Vlahovic and Oleksandr Zinchenko salaries are a problem. The coach has taken a year off after the tempestuous end to his Juve experience and is back on the bench next season at San Siro. Milan targets too costly epa11726450 France's midfielder Adrien Rabiot (C) celebrates after scoring the opening goal during the UEFA Nations League soccer match between Italy and France at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in Milan, Italy, 17 November 2024. EPA-EFE/DANIEL DAL ZENNARO According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, Allegri wants to reunite with Rabiot, but that will be practically impossible. Advertisement This is because Olympique Marseille do not want to sell, but the player also is comfortable at his current club and has no real intention of leaving already. When it comes to the strikers, Vlahovic remains the first choice, though here too there are bound to be some major problems. That is caused by his salary, which is also the main reason why Juventus are trying to sell this summer rather than renew the contract that expires in June 2026. An alternative to Vlahovic for that role would be Atalanta hitman and Serie A Capocannoniere Mateo Retegui.

However, here too the wages he is currently earning at Arsenal are considered outlandish for the Rossoneri, who failed to qualify for Europe and therefore took a hit to their revenue.

Why Igor Tudor Will Coach Juventus At Club World Cup And Into 2025/26
Igor Tudor made a big impact at Juventus after replacing Thiago Motta (Photo by MARCO BERTORELLO / ... More AFP) (Photo by MARCO BERTORELLO/AFP via Getty Images) Speaking at his inaugural press conference after taking over as General Manager of Juventus, Damien Comoli has confirmed that Igor Tudor will remain as the club's Head Coach. The Bianconeri had already announced Comoli's arrival – an appointment discussed in this previous column – and knowing that he would be asked about the future of the side, the former Tottenham executive addressed it head on. 'I would like to clarify a few points before taking questions,' Comoli told reporters at his first press conference. 'Igor Tudor will be our Coach for next season and not just for the Club World Cup. He will lead the first team for the 2025/2026 season and, I hope, beyond that. 'I remember it perfectly when I met him in Ligue 1. Even then, I was impressed by the intensity he brought to his Marseille side. He did an extraordinary job there, but I repeat that what struck me most was the resilience of his team, the physical and mental strength of those players.' The reason Tudor had become such a hot topic was the constant speculation that he would be replaced. As last season came to a close, Juventus had been strongly linked with approaches for Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini but ultimately those rumours came to nothing. Those same reports – including this one from the Corriere della Sera – also insisted that Juve had made contact with Stefano Pioli and Fulham boss Marco Silva, but again with no tangible progress. Whatever the truth behind those rumours, the Turin giants will now go into the 2025/26 campaign with Tudor at the helm and he will also be in charge for the FIFA Club World Cup which kicks off later this month. When he arrived back in March to replace Thiago Motta, Tudor was initially only in charge on an interim basis, but his deal automatically extended until June 2026 when UEFA Champions League qualification was achieved. There was a clause that gave Juve an option to terminate the agreement for a cost of €1 million ($1.14 million) this summer, but now it seems the Coach will do so with a new, improved contract. According to Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Tudor's agent Anthony Seric will be in Turin later this week to finalise terms on an extension that will run until the summer of 2027. This would bring a far greater sense of stability to the club, as currently they would go into the 2025/26 campaign with the Coach already in the final year of his contract. Instead, with a two-year deal in place, Tudor would have more authority to shape the squad in the manner he needs to. Comoli was inevitably also asked how he would support the Coach with changes in the transfer market, but – other than confirming Randal Kolo Muani would play for Juve in the Club World Cup – he refused to give any details. 'I'm very open, but there is one thing I'm not open about, and it's transfers,' Comoli said at his press conference. 'I tend to be more reserved on this. 'We discussed with the coach, Giorgio [Chiellini] and Maurizio [Scanavino, club CEO]. We have an idea; we are considering Igor's approach. What I can say is that surely adjustments need to be made, but not radical changes.' Using the boss' tactical framework to inform their choices can only benefit the team and their prospects of silverware next term. Igor Tudor is here to stay, now Juventus need to rediscover their identity and challenge for honours if his time at the helm is to ultimately be successful.

Report – Outgoing Inter Milan Veteran Striker Prefers Serie A Stay Over Foreign Move
Departing Inter Milan veteran Marko Arnautovic is reportedly keen to stay in Serie A beyond the summer. Per La Stampa via FCInter1908, the 36-year-old has no intention of leaving Italy's top flight. Indeed, he first joined the club on a season-long loan from Bologna. Advertisement However, he signed a permanent contract the following year. Arnautovic's deal will expire at the end of June, with Inter unwilling to offer him fresh terms. Departing Inter Milan Ace Marko Arnautovic Seeking Serie A Stay MILAN, ITALY – MARCH 08: Marko Arnautovic of FC Internazionale shows appreciation to the fans following 3-2 victory after the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Monza at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on March 08, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) The Austrian star will become a free agent in less than a month. Meanwhile, his chances of staying in Serie A look bleak after he turned down a move to Torino last January. Indeed, the Granata tried to sign him as a short-term replacement for the injured Duvan Zapata. Yet, he refused a switch to Turin to stay at San Siro. Marco Baroni's appointment at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino could see the Granata reignite their interest in the veteran striker. In addition to Torino, Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce could offer Arnautovic a contract this summer.
