Goals on either side of halfitme saw Napoli beat bottom-half Cagliari 2-0 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and confirm their fourth Serie A title. Despite winning at Como via the same scoreline, Inter must settle for a runner-up finish.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Only a point separated the teams before the kick-off. Yet, a slender margin was enough to set the two teams apart in the end as Antonio Conte dethroned his former club in probably his only season in charge of the Partenopei.<\/p>\n Below a recap of our live updates from tonight\u2019s Serie A Round 38.<\/p>\n Conte lives up to his \u2018miracle-worker\u2019 tag. Napoli are on the throne again!<\/p>\n Inter sign off in style but go home empty-handed.<\/p>\n It\u2019s now a matter of minutes. Cagliari cannot do anything noteworthy on the opposition\u2019s half, while the entire stadium is on their feet awaiting the final whistle.<\/p>\n Only two minutes after coming on, David Neres squanders a golden opportunity to land a knockout punch on Cagliari. Lukaku ties him up with a teasing through ball, yet Sherri makes another terrific save. It\u2019s still 2-0.<\/p>\n With Napoli and Inter two goals ahead, the tempo is slow as there\u2019s virtually no more chance for Cagliari and Como to claw back into the games.<\/p>\n Joaquin Correa scores on his last game for Inter! However, it\u2019s likely a consolation strike as the Nerazzurri are on the verge of losing the title.<\/p>\n Romelu Lukaku may have just decided the Scudetto race! The towering striker slaloms past two of his markers and slots the ball beneath Sherri to make it 2-0. Title goes to Naples as things stand!<\/p>\n Both title contenders are in front, meaning Napoli are still one point ahead. However, 45 minutes of unparalleled drama awaits us, with Inter heading into the break with a numerical advantage.<\/p>\n The legendary goalkeeper couldn\u2019t have imagined a worse way to drop the curtain on his career. Davide Massa sends him off after reviewing footage on the side-pitch monitor. It was a cynical foul on Taremi. Como are down a man.<\/p>\n Scott McTomiany has been Napoli\u2019s talisman this season, but this goal could define his career in Serie A. The ex-Manchester United midfielder scores a spectacular overhead kick to fire Napoli 1-0 up.<\/p>\n Despite having two chances in a space of two seconds, Leonardo Spinazzola couldn\u2019t beat Sherri, who seems to have spelled his net. He first denies the wingback before a defender makes a vital block at the second time of asking.<\/p>\n Mehdi Taremi\u2019s woes in front of goal continues. The Iranian breaks one-on-one with Pepe Reina, but the retiring keeper parries away his weak attempt with a superb leg save.<\/p>\n Como nearly draw level at Sinigaglia as Ivan Smolcic connects with Lucas Da Cunha\u2019s delightful cross from the resulting set-piece. However, the ball goes straight into Yann Sommer, who makes a comfortable save.<\/p>\n Napoii dominated proceedings but cannot find a way past Cagliari\u2019s low defensive block. Meanwhile, Inter remain 1-0 up, even though Como are far better side.<\/p>\n Stefan de Vrij heads home another inch-perfect corner-kick delivery from Hakan Calhanoglu to put Inter in front! The pressure is on Napoli now as the Nerazzurri ascend the throne.<\/p>\n The Cagliari goalkeeper pulled off another masterclass to deny Amir Rrahmani\u2019s close range attempt. However, Napoli are getting closer to finding an all-important breakthrough.<\/p>\n Matteo Politano nearly put Napoli in front after a lightning-fast counter-attack. Alen Sherri made a stunning save to thwart Billy Gilmour from point-blank. However, Politano latched onto the loose ball but couldn\u2019t hit the target despite having goal at his mercy.<\/p>\n Federico Dimarco whips the ball into the box and finds Matteo Darmian completely unmarked at the far post. However, the Italian wingback\u2019s feeble attempt allows one of the Como defenders to avert danger with a last-gasp clearance.<\/p>\n Even without Antonio Conte on the bench due to a touchline ban, the atmosphere at Stadio Diego Maradona reaches fever pitch. Let\u2019s see if Cagliari can handle the pressure.<\/p>\n It\u2019s crunch times in Serie A as Inter Milan and Napoli battle it out for the title in one of the most enthralling Scudetto races in recent memory. The Partenopei headed into proceedings with a one-point lead, knowing a win against Cagliari would seal the deal.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Inter\u2019s hopes of becoming the first team other than Juventus since 2009\/10 to defend the crown hinges on beating Como on the road and Cagliari upsetting the apple cart beneath Vesuvius.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nFULL TIME \u2013 Napoli 2-0 Cagliari<\/h2>\n
