NAPOLI (ITALPRESS) – After the victories against Atalanta and Rome, Naples beats Juventus for 2-1, and finds itself the leader of Serie A, alone, waiting for Milan (in the field tomorrow against Turin). Rasmus Hojlund, author of a goal for time: “useless”, therefore, the net of the momentary draw signed by Yildiz.
On the eve there was great expectation for Spalletti’s return to the city that gave him the greatest joy of his career. At the time of entry into the field, however, the reception of its former fans was cold: neither applause, nor whistles for the technician of Certaldo. Some fans of Naples, on the other hand, did not “sprinkle” on arrival at the Maradona of the opposing coach, hit by some stones. Unlike a scattered Juve, in the first time, Naples shows from the first jokes of knowing well how to behave in the field, playing with greater intensity and organization.
In particular, the most decisive man between the sidelines is David Neres, who already at the 5′ serves a kiss assist for the head-to-side shot of McTominay. The second dangerous initiative created by the Brazilian wing is instead capitalized with robbery by Hojlund. At 7′, in fact, Neres jumps dry Koopmeiners and puts in the center the ball for the Danish tip, read to anticipate Kelly and to shove Di Gregorio for the goal of 1-0. At the 26′ then the juventine goalkeeper is providential in the parare the aerial turn of Di Lorenzo on development of corner. In the fractional final, some lukewarm signal begins to be seen in the Juve house, especially thanks to the quality of Yildiz, lined with false nine. The idea of Spalletti to play without a real offensive reference does not reward: here then at the interval enter David for Cabal.
Despite the fact that Naples has decidedly approached the second time, Juventus only needs a flame to mark the 1-1 network. On share at 59′, McKennie embarks on Yildiz that only in front of Milinkovic draws the accounts. Guests take confidence and the game becomes more balanced. Naples, however, does not demolish and succeeds in returning to the advantage, exploiting a clamorous mistake of McKennie. At 78′, on Neres crossroads, the American midfielder intercepts head, but it serves an involuntary assist for Hojlund who, from two steps, pit Di Gregorio and scores 2-1. The final assault of the Bianconeri produces only a central shot of Zhegrova at 94′, blocked without problems by Milinkovic-Savic. With this success Naples overrides Inter and returns to the first place in Serie A, at 31. For Juve, however, the seventh consecutive defeat at Maradona comes: Still black whites in seventh place.
