Napoli takes early lead with Amir Rrahmani’s goal in Serie A clash against Pisa

Amir Rrahmani rose highest to meet a corner from Elmas and buried a header into the net, extending Napoli’s lead to 2-0 against Pisa in a Serie A fixture that carried enormous stakes.

Napoli went on to win 3-0 on May 17, 2026, a result that confirmed their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Rrahmani’s milestone moment

The goal carried extra weight for Rrahmani personally. The match marked his 200th appearance in a Napoli shirt, a number that tells you everything about his durability and importance to the squad.

Since arriving from Hellas Verona in 2020, the Kosovar international has quietly assembled the kind of resume that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. Fourteen goals and six assists across his tenure at Napoli, with 13 of those goals coming in Serie A across six seasons. For a center-back, that’s a genuinely impressive attacking contribution.

His contract runs through June 30, 2027, giving Napoli at least one more full season of a player who has become genuinely difficult to replace in their backline.

A club built for sustained success

The back-to-back Serie A titles in 2022-23 and the season before established Napoli as more than a one-hit wonder in Italian football. Qualifying for the Champions League again reinforces that this is a club operating at a consistently high level.
