Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia played pivotal roles as Napoli clinched a 2-1 victory over struggling Cagliari, propelling them into the Champions League positions in Serie A.
Osimhen’s headed goal in the 69th minute set the tone, followed by Leonardo Pavoletti’s equalizer for Cagliari.
The decisive moment came in the 75th minute when Kvaratskhelia netted the winner, securing Napoli’s fourth place in the league.
Despite their title defense appearing distant with an 11-point gap behind Inter Milan, Napoli celebrated their third home win of the season, overcoming challenges that led to a delayed kick-off due to safety concerns caused by strong winds in Naples.
