Inter Milan hold third place but have a chance to go back to the top with a win in their later match. Control Despite Absences Hampered by the absence of a number of key personnel, the southern Italian side commanded the game with patient build-up play. The first goal came when Politano's delivery was drilled home by Spinazzola at the back post. The lead was doubled in the first half as the defender guided a glancing header from another Politano set-piece into the bottom corner. Napoli went close to a third shortly after when Eljif Elmas saw his header crash against the woodwork. Tempers Flare and Red Cards After the break saw further injury concern for the away side when a player limped off. This incident sparked a brief confrontation, resulting in bookings for Rrahmani and the home side's Noslin—who then received a second yellow for a foul. "I must congratulate my players, playing with this level of quality and physical strength while preventing Lazio have control is not easy," remarked the winning head coach. "We played at a very high level of play." Tempers boiled over again late on as two opponents were embroiled in a fierce confrontation, prompting the coach to intervene. The two players were shown red cards for their involvement in the clash. Other European Fixtures In Spain's La Liga, Sevilla suffered a heavy loss at home to struggling the Granotas.
