Napoli Maintains Perfect Serie A Start With Narrow 3-2 Win Over Pisa

Napoli maintained their perfect start to the Serie A 2025-26 season with a narrow 3-2 victory over promoted Pisa, securing their fourth consecutive league win and solidifying their lead at the top of the standings with 12 points. Goals from Billy Gilmour, Leonardo Spinazzola, and Lorenzo Lucca—who scored his first goal for Napoli—proved decisive, despite late goals from Pisa's M’Bala Nzola and Lorran that made the match tense. The win puts Napoli two points ahead of second-placed Juventus and three points clear of Roma and AC Milan. Napoli's coach Antonio Conte acknowledged the physical and mental challenges of balancing European and domestic competitions, noting the team's need for patience following their recent Champions League defeat. Pisa remains near the bottom of the table with just one point, but their spirited performance showed resilience against the reigning champions. Napoli will next face AC Milan at San Siro, continuing their quest to defend the Serie A title.
