NAPOLI (ITALPRESS) – The Hiellas Verona slows down the beat race of Naples. The Italian champions, in fact, do not go beyond the 2-2 against the Gialloblù in the match of Maradona, valid for the 19th day of Serie A: at the goals of Frese and Orban for the double advantage of the Scaliger answer McTominay and Di Lorenzo, who avoid to the partenopei the internal ko. The hosts immediately push on the accelerator and at 8′ turn the advantage with a conclusion on the first pole of Elmas, which is rejected by Montipò. After a complicated start of race, the veins react to the great and 16′ find the net of the advantage with a magic of Martin Frese: Niasse arrives on the bottom and crosses for the Danish who, first intentionally, turns the ball in the door with a wonderful touch. Four minutes later Orban tries the shot from the edge of the area, but does not center the mirror of the door. Naples accuses the blow and the 28′ must also face a penalty kick assigned, after revision Var, by Marchetti for a fault of Morning: Gift Orban, which overtakes Milinkovic-Savic and signs the doubling with its fifth seasonal goal. Antonio Conte’s boys begin to grind, so much so that at 34′ they go close to reopen the dispute with Hojlund, whose head blow ends a few centimeters beyond the cross. At 42′ the blues cut out another great occasion with McTominay, who receives ball in the area and kicks in safe barrel, but hits in full Nunez.
At the end of the 4′′ recovery, you go to rest with Verona in advantage 2-0. In opening Milinkovic-Savic takes a blank exit, but the defense manages to remedy the goalkeeper’s error by foiling the threat. At the 54′ also Montipò goes out empty on a corner kicked by Lang and Scott McTominay takes advantage of it to hit the net, thus reopening the match. Galvanized by the goal, Naples tries to ride the positive moment, touching the tie to 60′ with Di Lorenzo, who does not arrive on an insidious ball for a matter of centimeters. The partenopei create an asphyxiating forcing that at 72′ leads to the network of Hojlund which, however, after a Var revision, is canceled for a touch of hand of the centring. The event with the draw is only postponed, since at 82’ the blues camouflag the 2-2 with Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who realizes the winning deviation on the cross of Marianucci. In the recovery the hosts unbalance and risk on a clamorous counterfeit of Jovane who, to you with Milinkovic-Savic, wasted the match-point. Al Maradona, then, ends 2-2: the staircases smile for a precious point in salvation, the blues make a false step in the shielded struggle. Following this result, Napoli climbs 38 points in the standings, while Hellas Verona takes 13. The bells will return on Sunday evening at the Meazza for the big-match against Inter; the Venetians, instead, will host Lazio to the Bentegodi.
