NAPOLI (ITALPRESS) – After three consecutive draws, a Napoli in total emergency returns to win in the championship and does it for 1-0 against Sassuolo. At the ‘Maradona’ is the return to the goal after three years and five months of Lobotka to give three points to the team of Antonio Conte (in the tribune for the second and last day of disqualification) that climbs to 43 points in the ranking, to -6 from the chief Inter (winner in the afternoon in Udine). On the other hand, the crisis of blackouts continues, dry of victories since 6 December.
Fabio Grosso’s team shows growth signals on the game’s level, but it collapses at the first round at the 7′. Muric dismisses a shot of Elmas, Lobotka slings on the back, leaving an unprepared shot for the blackgreen goalkeeper. Sassuolo suffered the kickback, but remained in the game twelve times in the first half, immediately venting the tie with a tap in Pinamonti walled by Juan Jesus.
Among the most dangerous there is the young Lipani who at the 19′ frightens Milinkovic-Savic with a beautiful turn from the limit of the area, and then reappear with the same intentions at the beginning of recovery after denying Elmas a safe barrel shot in the area: the 49′ class 2005 improves the aim and kicks of inside right, but the Serbian goalkeeper gets over and in dive slender. To complicate the task of Naples there are two new accidents: Elmas asks for change and soon after Rrahmani is forced to leave. In the emergency, McTominay tries to dress up the leaders’ shoes: The Scots point the door and from 25 meters leave a shot that sibila near the pole. Naples does not close it, but defends the advantage by closing with Politano injured in finite slots. The emergency continues, indeed it worsens. Yet Naples is confirmed in the highest ranking in view of the big match against Juventus next Sunday.
