Napoli faced another setback as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat against Roma, compounded by Victor Osimhen's red card. The Nigerian striker was sent off for a second bookable offense, charging down Diego Llorente with Napoli trailing by a goal.
This comes in the wake of Napoli's 4-0 loss to Frosinone in the Copa Italia earlier in the week, marking a dismal period for the team. Matteo Politano's earlier red card, for kicking out at Nicola Zalewski, left Napoli with nine players on the field.
The defeat allowed Roma to leapfrog Napoli into sixth place in Serie A, just three points off the top four. The challenging week sets the stage for crucial upcoming fixtures, with Roma facing Juventus and Napoli hosting Monza.
The Serie A standings remain unpredictable amid these developments
