Italian soccer champions SSC Napoli have defeated Juventus Turin in the top match of Serie A and thus done league leaders Inter Milan a big favor! 

The Neapolitans beat Juve 2:1 (1:0) in the 27th round on Sunday to climb to seventh place in the table.

For the Turin side, their third defeat in the last five league games was the next bitter setback in the battle for the championship.

Leaders Inter Milan, who still have Austrian goalscorer Marko Arnautovic in action against Genoa on Monday (8.45pm), remain twelve points ahead of second-placed Torino with one game less to play.

Giacomo Raspadori scored for Napoli in the 88th minute with a penalty after Victor Osimhen had missed from the spot.
