In the early hours of Sunday morning, a thrilling duel took place in Serie A, with Lazio defeating last season's champions Napoli by a score of 2-1 on the road, a cold game with odds as high as 5.4 times, which also ended Napoli's undefeated streak since the beginning of the season. It is worth mentioning that Japan international Kamada Ochi, who joined Lazio from Eintracht Frankfurt as a free agent this summer, was the centerpiece of the midfield who scored the winning goal, his first since joining the Serie A. He showed his outstanding individual ability.
Looking at the recent performances of the two teams, it should have been a one-sided game, with Napoli opening the season with two consecutive wins and Lazio with two consecutive defeats. However, this matchup was a shocker. Lazio broke the deadlock in the first 30 minutes of the first half with a goal from Luz Abbott, while Napoli quickly equalized with a long-distance shot from Schilensky.
After the change of ends, Kamada Ochi was back in action. The 27-year-old midfielder has made three consecutive starts in the league this season and finally broke his goal drought in today's match. Kamada scored 16 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions for Eintracht Frankfurt last season, with his aggressive style of play. After achieving the "zero breakthrough" in Serie A, his future goal scoring is worth looking forward to.
It's worth noting that both of Russell's goals came off pinpoint assists from Fira Andersen, while Sakani and Gouandous each scored as well, and if it weren't for their stellar play, Russell would have won more than just 2-1.
