LISBONA (PORTOGALLO) (ITALPRESS) – Napoli ko in Lisbon with Benfica on the sixth day of the Champions League phase. Conte’s team lost 2-0 with the flatterers and took third defeat in the event, after those with Manchester City and Psv. A goal for time (20′ Rios, 49′ Barreiro) for the eleventh of Mourinho, who puts in line the second success in Champions, after the 2-0 outside on the Ajax, and climbs in 25th position at 6 points, at only one length from Naples. The lusitans are better off, making them dangerous at 12′ with a round of Aursnes out of a little. A few minutes later, he is always the midfielder of Benfica to devour himself the goal of the advantage: at 18′ Milinkovic-Savic is wrong in the construction phase, Aursnes recovers the ball and has the opportunity to kick from a favorable position, but does not frame the mirror of the door from a few steps. At 20′ the Mourinho team unlocks it: cross from Dahl’s trequarti, McTominay tries to move away but in a ball the ball ends in a small area, with Rios taking advantage of the indecision of the Neapolitan backguard to beat Milinkovic-Savic.
Tensile reaction of Naples in the second first half, but the eleven of Conte ends the initial 45 minutes without shots in the mirror of the defence door from Trubin. In start of recovery the Portuguese widen the scissors: at the 49′ Rios escapes to McTominay, serves in the middle of Barreiro, which with a great touch surprises a little reactive Milinkovic-Savic. Naples moved from the goal immediately and rhythms that return low with the Benfica in control. The first real call of Conte’s men leads the signature of Neres, which at 71′ heats Trubin’s gloves with a central mancino from 25 meters. The hosts leave the ball of the game in the hands of Naples, without overly suffering the final pressing of the men of Conte and bringing home three fundamental points. For the champions of Italy, the road to the play-offs goes uphill.
