Analyses
Clear result in favor of Napoli, which proved to be the strongest team in the championship and to deserve the top of the standings and win the winter champion at the end of the first round. Juventus, which came from eight consecutive victories, fell to Diego Maradona with a disappointing performance and with the defense in great difficulty. Worth noting is the excellent match direction of the referee Doveri, who once again proved to be one of the most reliable match directors available to the designator Rocchi.
