Napoli with character! His team Walter Macari was found with his back to the wall by the Verona inside “Diego Maradona”, but managed to get a reaction and prevail with a score of 2-1.
Second win in the last three matches for the “partenopei”, who seem to be coming together and are coming back strongly in the battle for the Champions League of the new season, while the visitors stayed in the relegation zone and have not won three points in three consecutive matches.
In pure competition, the home team had a loose possession which they could not turn into good chances. Of course, they could have found a way to the net early on, but the referee denied a very obvious penalty on Kvaratskelia and the 0-0 remained normal in the game until half-time.
However, the second part was completely different and better paced. THE Coppola in the 72′ from a static phase executed by Suslov, he jumped higher than everyone and froze “Maradona” by throwing “partenopei” into their… ropes. However, seven minutes later the Engonz hurt his former team, leveling the score. Napoli’s pressure was suffocating in the final and turned into a goal, after o Kvaratskelia in the 87th minute with an improbable placement he scored for the reversal and 2-1!
