NAPLES
Napoli manages to get the better of Venice at the cost of great sacrifices, due to the expulsion of Osimhen in the 23 ‘. Insigne, at 12 ‘st, takes a penalty whistled for a hand ball by Caldara. The Napoli captain, however, goes back to the 16th minute when he shows up again on the spot (the foul this time is by Ceccaroni) and bags displacing the goalkeeper. Napoli’s victory becomes definitive in the 27th minute when Elmas takes advantage of a short pass from Lozano and bags with a low shot. The game is heavily conditioned by Osimhen’s expulsion. Referee Aureliano evaluates a slap from the Nigerian on Heymans’ face as a voluntary slap and without hesitation pulls out the red card.
The objection to the arbitrator is not limited to this. Aureliano on the occasion of the first penalty does not extract the yellow to sanction the hand ball of Caldara, cautioned. After 4 ‘on the occasion of the touch of the hand of Ceccaroni the player of Venezia is cautioned.
For Venice to report a post hit by Forte on the result of 1-0. For the rest, Zanetti’s team only shows the qualities of defense, facilitated by the numerical superiority. However, too little to be able to come out unscathed from Maradona and close with a positive result at the debut in the championship. –
