Napoli wins Italian title

Napoli won its first Italian soccer league title since the days when Diego Maradona played for the club, sealing the trophy with a 1-1 draw at Udinese. The “scudetto” (championship) set off wild scenes of celebrations throughout Naples, inside the stadium in Udine, and beyond. Maradona led Napoli to its only previous Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990. League scoring leader Victor Osimhen equalized for Napoli early in the second half by redirecting in a rebound after Sandi Lovric had put Udinese ahead early. Napoli moved an insurmountable 16 points ahead of second-place Lazio with five matches still to play.
