CAGLIARI (ITALPRESS) – Scott McTominay’s start goal is enough in Naples to violate the Unipol Domus, passing 1-0 Cagliari in the opening race of the 30th day of Serie A. Not a good match of the Italian champions in charge but with the slightest effort they take second place (waiting Milan committed tomorrow in San Siro with Turin) bringing provisionally to -6 from Inter capolista. The Sardinians are still standing at a height of 30, with the third consecutive defeat. Pisacane finds Esposito after the disqualification and the only side points with the support of Folorunsho. Count leaves with McTominay and De Bruyne behind Hojlund, on the bench Alisson Santos. In Naples on the return Lobotka, immediately on the field from 1′, along with Gilmour. The beginning of the blues is blunt and the goal arrives at the first useful occasion: Beukema tower on the development of corners, Buongiorno strikes badly but takes the pole and on the door line is McTominay to put his foot in order to hang behind Caprile. Politano is also dangerous on punishment, rejected with fists from the goalkeeper who then in the fourth hour observes a head blow of McTominay finish not very high above the cross. The predomain of Naples is out of discussion, but there are also many errors of precision of the blues for which he is very angry Count.
Just a drop in concentration leads to a bloody ball lost by Olivera with Esposito pointing the rigour area and kicking diagonally without hitting the mirror of the defense door by Milinkovic-Savic. The extreme defender of the Neapolitans instead puts the fists on an insidious cross shot of Zé Pedro while in the final of time is good a combination between De Bruyne and Hojlund but the Azzurri do not find the right time to beat the net. The shooting opens with a Caprile repel on a shot by De Bruyne, then it also tries Politano, around the second pole, with the ball that ends on the side. After a short while, Conte concludes the double play experiment and launches in the Alisson Santos mix instead of Lobotka but is again Politano to touch the doubling at the end of a beautiful coral action of Naples, invented by the excellent exit of Caprile. From here on, the guests will do very little, while Cagliari will try to raise the center of gravity without ever being able to hurt. Calcia out Gaetano, then also Esposito and twice the newlywed Mendy. The last thrill in the recovery with a very dangerous cross of Mina, away from Spinazzola that protects the result and the three points of the team of Conte.
