Napoli Clinches Another Victory in Serie A Despite Red Card

In a stunning performance, Napoli secured their eighth straight win in Serie A, beating Empoli 2-0 despite playing with only 10 men after Mario Rui's red card. The win gives Napoli a 15-point advantage on the Serie A table, making it likely they will secure a spot in the Champions League's last 8.

Napoli dominated the first half, with Ardian Ismajli's own goal in the 17th minute putting the visitors ahead. Victor Osimhen followed up with another goal just ten minutes later. Although Rui's red card in the 67th minute threatened to derail Napoli's momentum, they managed to maintain their lead to the final whistle.

Napoli's impressive win over Empoli could potentially widen the gap to 18 points over second-placed Inter Milan, who are set to visit Bologna on Sunday. Meanwhile, Sassuolo secured a 1-0 away win against Lecce on Kristian Thorstvedt's header.

Napoli's strong performance this season has made them a team to watch, and they will likely continue to be a force to be reckoned with in Serie A. Despite the setback of Rui's red card, the team's ability to dominate the field and secure another victory is a testament to their skill and determination.
