How can Napoli miss it? While the “partenopei” go… train and achieve one victory after another, their pursuers are constantly leaving points. This time, the Inter made “thick” gela after staying at 0-0 at the home of the penultimate standings, Sampdoria.
Somehow, h Naples embraces the scudetto as it is now at +15 and extraordinary things must be done to lose it, while the Nerazzurri remain second but only at +3 from Roma, Atalanta and Milan! At the same time, the Genoese have only 11 points, they are -8 from the position that leads to the stay and the future remains… ominous for the “Doria”.
Inter were in control and threatened with Lukaku and Darmian for the Nerazzurri in the first twenty minutes and then… struggled to create phases, with 0-0 remaining until the end of the half thanks to Sampdoria’s good defensive work. Dimarco threatened in the 54th minute, while a little later (74th minute) Audero made a big intervention in a shot by Tsalkhanoglou. Nine minutes later, the Turkish midfielder saw his deflected shot go past the left post. The minutes ticked by, Inter struggled to find the winning goal and Sampdoria held firm.
Audero and a crossbar denied the goal to Acerbi who unleashed a great shot at 90’+2′, while in the last phase Dimarco made a face with the goal of Lautaro who got confused himself and didn’t even make a final, with 0-0 the final result in Genoa.
Earlier, Verona got a great 1-0 win over Salernitana thanks to Engog’s goal in the 34th minute! In fact, this three-pointer raised the home team to 17 points, -2 from the save and -4 from the visitors who… get into trouble.
