"The winning goal came from a scruffy goalmouth scramble as Matteo Politano's whipped cross was pounced on by Alessandro Buongiorno, who saw his shot saved, before McTominay turned in on the second attempt after hitting the post from point-blank range."
"McTominay made his return to the Napoli starting line-up and proved the difference once again in a tight encounter. He has now scored 19 goals in 59 Serie A appearances for Napoli, equalling his Premier League tally for Manchester United."
"Napoli are now unbeaten in their last 15 Serie A away matches against Cagliari (W10 D5), though the hosts did not truly trouble Vanja Milinkovic-Savic as they failed to get any of their seven shots on target."
Scott McTominay scored the only goal in Napoli's 1-0 win against Cagliari, helping the team rise to second place in Serie A. The goal came from a scramble in the box after a cross from Matteo Politano. Napoli maintained pressure with several attempts, but Cagliari nearly equalized late in the match. McTominay's performance included seven shots and a high expected goals rating. Napoli remains unbeaten in their last 15 away matches against Cagliari, showcasing their dominance in this fixture.
