Napoli slips at the last minute: El Shaarawi freezes Maradona, with Roma ends 1-1

A goal by El Shaarawy in the 91st minute freezes the Maradona stadium and condemns Napoli to a heavy misstep in the Scudetto key. Roma pulls a 1-1 after Insigne’s initial advantage on a penalty, taking a gold point to defend fifth place. Spalletti’s team, on the other hand, slips to -4 from first place in Milan and -2 from second-placed Inter Milan and with a game to catch up.

Seven minutes on the clock and the episode arrives that allows the Neapolitans to unlock the match: Lozano enters the area and is knocked down by Ibanez, the referee lets it go on but the Var does not forgive the intervention of the Brazilian defender. From the spot Insigne makes no mistake and scores 1-0. The Giallorossi try to shake up but only in the 39th minute they create the first real goal ball for the equalizer, with a poisonous free-kick by Pellegrini deflected on the crossbar by Osimhen in an attempt to repel. The biggest chance, however, is Abraham in the 61st minute, when Karsdorp offers him a golden ball to push only into the net, but the English striker in front of Meret hits badly, wasting everything. A few moments later Abraham is serving Pellegrini in the heart of the area, Mario Rui is providential in anticipating it before the conclusion. Mourinho’s team does not give up, throws his heart over the obstacle and in the 91st minute deservedly equalized with the newly entered El Shaarawy, who guessed the right of first intention at the end of a good choral action.
