Napoli Secures Impressive 5-1 Victory in 2014 Serie A
In a memorable match on May 18th, 2014, Napoli put on a spectacular display, securing a 5-1 victory over their opponents. The game, which was not part of any other tournament, marked the 14th time the team had achieved such a scoreline in the league.
The match saw four different Napoli players finding the back of the net. The scoring spree began early, with Callejon netting the first goal just five minutes into the game. Gonzalo Zapata followed suit with two goals, scoring at the 13th and 25th minutes.
The second half of the game saw three more goals added to Napoli's tally. Mertens scored the second and final goal of the first half at the 77th minute, and it was not until the 62nd minute that the next goal was scored, this time by Iturbe.
The lineup fielded by Rafael Benitez for the final Serie A match of the 2013/14 season was: Doblas, Maggio, Henrique, Britos, Ghoulam, Dzemaili, Jorginho, Insigne, Callejon, Mertens, Zapata. Substitutions were made during the match, with Dzemaili being replaced by Zuniga at the 59th minute, Jorginho by Lasicki at the 78th minute, and Callejon by Radosevic at the 46th minute.
Despite this impressive win, Napoli finished the 2013/14 season in third place in the Serie A, with Juventus and Roma finishing above them. This season, however, saw Napoli secure seven wins, draw three, and lose three matches in their thirteen league games.
This 5-1 victory against Empoli on January 31, 2016, would be the last time Napoli achieved such a scoreline in the league, under the guidance of coach Maurizio Sarri. It was a performance that showcased Napoli's attacking prowess and their ability to dominate a match, and it remains a highlight in the club's history.
