Her first loss after ten consecutive wins in the championship was Inter on Sunday night (17/03)!
Simone Inzaki’s side appeared… empty of energy and psychology after midweek exclusion from Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, staying at 1-1 with Napoli at “Giuseppe Meazza” for the 29th matchday of Serie A.
The first half was quite balanced, with the “neratzuri” having a small advantage. Two minutes before the completion of the 45th minute, the hosts were fortunate to open the scoring with Darmian’s strong finish from the “heart” of the area, after Bastoni’s excellent turn from the left.
In the replay, the “partenopei” were the ones who took the initiative of the movements, exerting pressure to get back into the game. Despite the fact that they did not create many dangerous moments in front of Sommer’s goal, the Neapolitans found the coveted goal in 82nd minute with Juan Jesus to score with a close-range header at the far post, after Bastoni’s corner kick was badly cleared.
With this result, Inter reached them 76 degrees, maintaining a comfortable 13-point gap over second-placed Milan, while Napoli stayed in 7th place with 45 points and at -2 from the top six.
