Napoli faced a tough challenge against Lazio, and despite an exceptional display from their Serbian star, Sergej Milinković-Savić, they were unable to avoid defeat. Milinković-Savić, whose penalty prowess is well-documented, once again demonstrated why he is considered Europe’s leading specialist in this crucial area of the game, even managing to thwart Lazio’s Zaccagni.
The match saw another brilliant contribution from the Serbian midfielder, who has cemented his reputation as a penalty master. His ability to calmly and effectively convert from the spot proved to be a significant, albeit ultimately insufficient, asset for Napoli in their quest to avoid a loss against their rivals.
