De Bruyne and Hojlund shine.

In his return to the Maradona Stadium after a long-term injury, Kevin De Bruyne helped Napoli come from behind to beat Lecce 2-1 in Serie A's 29th round.

Napoli, under the guidance of coach Antonio Conte, staged an impressive comeback against Lecce.

In the early hours of March 15th, Lecce unexpectedly opened the scoring in the 3rd minute thanks to a goal from Jamil Siebert. The early goal made things difficult for Napoli in the first half, but everything changed after the break when Conte brought on Kevin De Bruyne.

Just 46 seconds into the second half, Napoli equalized 1-1 when Matteo Politano provided a precise assist for Rasmus Hojlund to tap in from close range. Then, in the 67th minute, Politano scored the winning goal himself from a pass by De Bruyne.

The return of the Belgian midfielder after more than four months out due to injury helped Napoli make the difference, completing a comeback and securing their third consecutive victory.

This victory helped Napoli consolidate their third-place position and narrow the gap with league leaders Inter Milan to just nine points. This is because, in their other match of the same round, the Milanese team disappointed by drawing 1-1 with Atalanta.

Inter Milan continues to drop points.

Despite taking an early lead through Esposito, coach Chivu and his players disappointed by allowing Atalanta to equalize in the 82nd minute. This was Inter's second consecutive match without a win, following their defeat to AC Milan in the previous round.

This result puts Inter Milan at risk of having their lead over AC Milan narrowed, and also makes the Serie A title race exciting again.
