Coppa Italia 2024-25: Noslin hat-trick lifts Lazio past Napoli into quarterfinal
Tijjani Noslin netted a hat-trick as Lazio beat a depleted Napoli side 3-1 in the Coppa Italia round of 16 at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday.
The 25-year-old Dutch forward opened the scoring after 32 minutes, heading home from close range, shortly after his team mate Mattia Zaccagni had a penalty saved.
Giovanni Simeone equalised for Napoli soon afterwards, but Noslin put Lazio back in front four minutes before halftime.
Noslin completed his first career hat-trick soon after the interval by expertly heading a cross into the far corner.
Napoli, who started with several key players on the bench, including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay, were unable to mount a comeback and Lazio eased into the quarterfinals.
