FootVal Newsroom
Juventus beat Napoli 2-0 in Serie A on Sunday evening, with goals from Kerim Alajbegovic and substitute Jérémie Boga securing three points for the home side at the Allianz Stadium.
The match turned decisively in the 75th minute when Napoli's Luca Marianucci was shown a red card, after which Juventus were able to close the game out. Boga, who came off the bench, struck with a curling right-footed effort in the 87th minute to make it 2-0, according to reports.
Juventus, who had been under pressure in recent weeks, moved to 17 points with the victory. Napoli ended the matchday on 14 points.
Alajbegovic, 19, has FootVal's valuation of €35m and has been one of Juventus's most consistent performers this season. Boga, playing as a late substitute, had not scored in any of his six league appearances before Sunday.
