McTominay headed the ball past Monza goalkeeper Turati. |
In Serie A's 33rd round, Scott McTominay's 72nd-minute header secured a valuable victory for Napoli at Monza, a team teetering on the brink of relegation. This result temporarily puts Antonio Conte's team level on points with league leaders Inter Milan.
From a cross from a teammate, the Scottish midfielder positioned himself well and rose high to deliver a beautiful header to break the deadlock. The home team at the Diego Maradona Stadium faced considerable difficulties in their away match at Monza, and had to rely on McTominay's moment of brilliance to secure all three points.
This was McTominay's 10th goal for Napoli this season (9th in Serie A), the best individual performance of the Scottish player's career.
McTominay's Serie A debut was a miraculous story, with the Scottish midfielder once again proving to be a decisive factor in the club's success. Not only did he score, but McTominay also opened the scoring six times, becoming the player with the most goal-scoring opportunities in Serie A 2024/25.
In the match against Monza, McTominay led in shots (3) and shots on target (2). He also became the second Napoli midfielder, after Marek Hamsik, to score at least 9 goals since the team was promoted to Serie A in the 2007/08 season.
With 71 points after 33 matches, Napoli leveled the score with Inter Milan, but had played one more game than their rivals. They finished second behind Inter Milan due to an inferior goal difference.
