NAPLES, Italy (Interstat) — Napoli opened its Serie A season with a 2-1 comeback victory over Torino on Friday, March 6, 2026, at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Torino’s Alisson Santos stunned the home crowd with a goal in the seventh minute. Napoli equalized in the 68th minute through midfielder Eljif Elmas. Substitute Cesare Casadei then secured the win for the hosts with a decisive goal in the 87th minute, assisted by fellow substitute Ardian Ismajli.

Three substitutes received yellow cards in a tense second half. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat that had forecast a draw. Napoli begins its campaign with a win, while Torino starts with a loss.
