Kalidou Koulibaly's 90th minute winner against Juventus triggered an 'earthquake' spike in Naples on Saturday night.
The towering header kept the title race alive as Napoli moved to within one point of the reigning champions with just four games left to play.
Despite the fact the game was held in the Juventus Stadium in Turin, the goal was celebrated so wildly back home that it could be seen on a seismic reading.
The Euro-Med Seismological Centre, which monitors earthquake activity across Europe, registered a spike in seismic activity in Fuorigrotta, a suburb of the city.

They posted on their Facebook , writing: "The seismographs of the national seismic network INGV. More precisely, near Fuorigrotta (Napoli). The match was not played in Napoli: ground movement only due by the fans at home watching the match."
The goal meant that Maurizio Sarri's side are well and truly in the title race as they hope to win their first crown in 28 years and just their third overall.

It meant so much to the fans that as much as 10,000 fans waited at the city's airport to welcome the team home in the early hours of Monday morning.
They'll be hoping for a miracle and will fancy themselves with Juve having the tougher run in of the two sides.

The holders face Champions League hopefuls Inter Milan and Roma in the next few weeks, while there is also the distraction of the Coppa Italia final against AC Milan.
Napoli have to tackle Fiorentina, Torino, Sampdoria and Crotone in their final fixtures.
