NAPLES Il Naples he resurrects, comes out to applause but doesn’t win, and continues the period of no against Maradona, where success hasn’t come since March 3rd. There Rome he only tries in the second half, in the end he has to settle for a point, which keeps Atalanta (who have a match to recover) two points away. Everything remains at stake for the Champions, for which Lazio also runs, who beat Verona on Saturday. Faced with a tired Roma, Napoli does many more things: they keep the ball more, shoot more, but in the end they score like Roma, who capitalize on the few opportunities that come their way and this time too they have to thank Svilar, once again rising to the occasion. For the team of de Rossi it’s a half-brake, but the way it was going a few minutes from the end, the draw in the end was gold. Everything is decided in the second half, with the four goals that tell and explain the match. A second half that starts again from zero to zero but with Napoli complaining about the numerous missed goals in the first half. Score Dybala from a penalty and it is a goal that arrives almost by chance, Olivera equalizes and Osimhen gives Napoli the lead, again from the penalty spot. Abraham gives Roma the equalizer five minutes from the end. Goal initially disallowed due to suspicion of offside, then conceded after checking with the VAR station.
Penalty against Napoli, what happened: the contact between Sanches and Kvaratskhelia and the VAR
In the first half, as mentioned, Napoli did better, giving their best especially in the last half hour, keeping the ball and creating opportunities, crushing the Giallorossi in their own area. Roma stands by and never manages to get going again, they stop playing after a comforting start, with a half-goal almost thanks to a header by Pellegrini following a rush into the penalty area. Left-handed. Roma ends there, then waits and concedes. Napoli have only one problem: aiming. Very bad. Osimhen And Jesus they make mistakes in front of the goalkeeper, and Anguissa’s curling conclusion is even sensational after finding himself alone in front of Svilar, the latter first lucky and then also very good on Kvara, who first tries with a long-range shot deflected by Bove into a corner and then he catches the Belgian goalkeeper’s glove with a curling shot. Svilar is always ready, closing the post on a shot By Lorenzocaught in the area by Politano. In the second half Roma showed up with a shot from El Shaarawy, but it was Napoli who came close to scoring again, with Politano and Lobotka. Azmoun, who until then had never been seen, seems swallowed up among Napoli’s centre-backs and is good at getting a penalty, inspiring an advance from Juan Jesus. At the tenth attempt, Dybala scores (from a penalty) his first goal in the temple of the idol Maradona and gives Roma the advantage.
De Rossi immediately – also thinking about Thursday, when he arrives at the Olimpico Bayer – calls the exhausted man to the bench El Shaarawy and send it out onto the field Angelino, tall winger like in Udine last Thursday. Napoli immediately finds the equalizer with a dirty shot by Oliverawhich takes advantage of an empty exit of Kristensen. Enter Abraham (for Azmoun) and Sanches (for Bove), the latter had only played 4 minutes with De Rossi (against Torino) and it shows, Calzone responds with Traore And Ngonge for Cajuste and Politano. It’s Svilar again, who saves on Osimehn, who inexorably escaped Mancini. The protests over Sanches’ naive foul in the area on Kvara lead Sozza to consult the VAR: clear penalty. Which Osimhen transforms and gives Napoli the momentary advantage. Roma equalized in the final with Abraham who hadn’t scored since April 29th. One fact is comforting: Roma have obtained fourteen points this season with goals scored after the 80th minute. A sign that the team never gives up. And to get to the Champions League, this will be necessary: don’t give up and believe in it until the end.
