Three straight losses will test any squad’s nerve. Stanislav Lobotka apparently decided he’d had enough, slotting home the only goal of the match in the 66th minute to give Napoli a 1-0 win over Bologna at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on September 13.
The result lifts Napoli to 6 points through four Serie A matchdays after a run that saw Massimiliano Allegri’s men drop three consecutive fixtures across league and Champions League play — defeats to Inter, Como, and Arsenal. For Bologna, the math is uglier: one point from four games, with the relegation zone uncomfortably close.
How the goal happened
The first 65 minutes were a grinding, low-event affair. Napoli held the ball for roughly 57-58% of possession but struggled to convert territory into clear chances.
Then substitute Costantino Favasuli changed the texture of the game. His assist found Lobotka in a dangerous position, and the Slovak midfielder finished to score the only goal.
