"Napoli had the ball in the back of the net in the 27th minute after Adrian Semper's stop from Rasmus Hojlund's shot fell kindly for Eljif Elmas to nod in from close range. However, the goal was ruled out for an offside in the build-up by Hojlund as he darted in behind the Pisa defence, but Napoli soon got themselves ahead."
"Data Debrief: Plenty to ponder for Conte Napoli endured a difficult return to the Champions League after Di Lorenzo's early red card in their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, and Conte would not have been pleased by his team's response here. Indeed, the Scudetto holders were only able to generate an expected goals (xG) total of 0.99 from their 18 shots, six of which were on target, compared to Pisa's 2.61 from their 15 attempts, despite the visitors scoring just once coming into this game."
Napoli beat Pisa 3-2 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to move two points clear atop Serie A. Billy Gilmour opened the scoring with his first Serie A goal; M'Bala Nzola levelled from the penalty spot after Sam Beukema's handball. Leonardo Spinazzola struck from distance and substitute Lorenzo Lucca added a fierce near-post finish to seal victory, while Lorran scored late after Giovanni Di Lorenzo's error. An earlier Eljif Elmas goal was disallowed for an offside. Napoli generated 0.99 expected goals from 18 shots versus Pisa's 2.61 from 15 attempts, highlighting inefficiency.
