Napoli defeats Lecce 1-0, expands Serie A lead to six points

Napoli moved six points clear at the top of Serie A after a 1-0 away win over Lecce, thanks to a well-taken free-kick by Giacomo Raspadori in the 24th minute. The match was briefly halted due to Lecce fans' protests involving flares and firecrackers, expressing anger over the league's handling of their physio's recent death. Despite an early Napoli goal by Romelu Lukaku being ruled out for offside, Napoli maintained control and secured a fourth consecutive clean sheet. Lecce came close to equalizing, notably hitting the crossbar, but ultimately failed to find the net and remain just a point above the relegation zone. With three matches left, Napoli are strong favorites for their second league title in three seasons, while Lecce continue to battle for survival. The result temporarily puts Napoli six points ahead of Inter Milan, who have a game in hand.
