Napoli's Title Hopes Dented with 2-1 Loss at Como

Napoli's title aspirations took a hit with a surprising 2-1 defeat against promoted Como, marking their fourth consecutive match without a win. The game began poorly for Napoli as Amir Rrahmani scored an own goal early on, but Giacomo Raspadori equalized shortly after. However, Assane Diao netted the winning goal for Como in the 77th minute, securing their position mid-table while pushing Napoli down to second place, one point behind Inter Milan, who won their match against Genoa. Manager Antonio Conte acknowledged his team's lack of 'hunger and nastiness' in the second half but refrained from assigning blame to his players. Napoli will face Inter in a crucial match next weekend, where they will seek to regain their title challenge. Diao's performance was particularly notable, as he scored for the third consecutive match, helping Como secure their second notable victory in recent weeks.
