MILAN (AP) — Napoli won an appeal against its default 3-0 loss to Juventus and the Serie A match will be rescheduled and the penalty point revoked.
Napoli had seen previous appeals rejected and took the matter to the Italian Olympic Committee, which decided in favor of the club on Tuesday.
The ruling meant Napoli moved from fifth place to third, while Juventus slipped to fourth after losing the three points it had been awarded. Both teams have the same number of points and the same goal difference, but Napoli has scored a goal more.
The first deciding factor if teams are level at the end of the season is head-to-head record, then goal difference and then goals scored.
