Napoli Falls Short Against Bologna, Misses Chance to Reclaim Serie A Lead
Napoli missed the opportunity to regain the top spot in Serie A following a 2-0 defeat to Bologna.
The match began with Netherlands forward Thijs Dallinga scoring the opening goal with a well-placed finish at the near post.
Bologna doubled their lead when Colombian defender Jhon Lucumi headed in a superb cross from Emil Holm.
This defeat leaves Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte, winless in their last three matches across all competitions.
Entering the weekend at the top of Serie A, Napoli was overtaken by AC Milan after they drew 2-2 with Parma on Saturday, having squandered a two-goal advantage.
As a result of Napoli's loss, they remain behind AC Milan on goal difference. Inter Milan could potentially surpass both teams if they secure at least a point against Lazio later on Sunday.
