JUVENTUS-NAPOLI 2-0 | STANDOUT STATS
Juventus claimed a 2-0 victory over Napoli thanks to goals from Kerim Alajbegovic and Jérémie Boga. Let's take a look at the key statistics from the match.
ALAJBEGOVIC MAKES HISTORY
At 19 years and 41 days old, Kerim Alajbegovic became the youngest foreign player to score in a Serie A meeting between Juventus and Napoli. Overall, only Bruno Nicolè (18 years and 230 days in October 1958) and Felice Placido Borel (18 years and 334 days in March 1933) have scored in this fixture at a younger age.

GOALS AND ASSISTS: KERIM'S RECORD
Kerim Alajbegovic is the youngest player to have scored at least one goal and provided at least one assist across Europe's top five leagues in 2026/27. The Bosnian is one of just five players born in 2007 or later to have achieved this feat, alongside Lamine Yamal, Charalampos Kostoulas, Jay Robinson and Paul Mendy.
JUVENTUS STRIKE FROM DISTANCE
For only the second time since the 2004/05 season, Juventus scored more than one goal from outside the box against Napoli in a Serie A match. The only previous occasion came in November 2013, when Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba were on the scoresheet. Since the start of last season, only Inter (17) and Napoli (13) have scored more goals from outside the box than the Bianconeri (12).

BOGA MAKES HIS MARK ON THE FIXTURE
Jérémie Boga became only the second African player to score for Juventus against Napoli in Serie A. Before the Ivorian, the only player to achieve this feat was Mario Lemina, on 26 September 2015.
THE IMPACT OF THE BENCH
Juventus have recorded 11 goal involvements from substitutes in Serie A this season, the joint-highest tally in the competition alongside Roma. All four of Edon Zhegrova's goal involvements (two goals and two assists) have come off the bench. Across Europe's top five leagues this season, only Mariano Diaz (six) has recorded more, while Alex Baena is also on four.

WINS AND CLEAN SHEETS
All five of Juventus' victories in their opening 10 Serie A matches this season have come without conceding a goal. The Bianconeri last recorded at least five wins accompanied by clean sheets in their first 10 league matches in 2023/24, when they achieved six under Massimiliano Allegri.
BACK-TO-BACK WINS AGAINST NAPOLI
Juventus have won their last two Serie A meetings with Napoli, keeping a clean sheet on both occasions. The Bianconeri last achieved this feat between April and October 2012, when Antonio Conte was in charge.
