Napoli claimed a confident 3–1 victory over Atalanta as David Neres delivered a brilliant brace and Noa Lang added another in a dominant first half at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Antonio Conte’s side looked sharp and ruthless from the opening whistle: Neres broke the deadlock, doubled the lead soon after, and Lang made it 3–0 before the interval — effectively settling the match by half-time.

The second half, however, brought fresh tension. Gianluca Scamacca pulled one back for Atalanta, sparking a spell of pressure from the visitors. They carved out several promising attacks, but Napoli held firm, with Conte’s defensive structure absorbing everything that came its way. The victory gives Napoli three important points and pushes them into provisional first place in the Serie A standings.
