MILAN. Napoli places the bang in the postponement of the 27th day, conquering San Siro with a 1-0 against Milan who slips to -9 from the top. A heavy success in terms of Champions for Gattuso’s team, but above all in terms of the Scudetto for Inter, which he thanks and extends to the top at +9 on his cousins. A goal by Politano decides at the beginning of the second half: Azzurri who reach Roma (next opponent) in fifth place, also keeping pace with Atalanta and Juventus just ahead in the standings. Another step backwards instead for the formation of Pioli, who now risks jeopardizing second place as well.
The pace is high and the game is enjoyable from the start, even if there are no great occasions in the first half hour of play. The Neapolitans build the first big goal ball right at the stroke of 30 ‘, when Zielinski receives in an excellent position from Insigne, but shoots to the side with all the mirror available. A few moments later, however, on the other side Leao tries, who frees himself well at the edge of the area but kicks too centrally, without creating too many problems in Ospina.
The start of recovery is crackling and immediately leads to the advantage of Napoli signed by Politano, who escapes to the defense and with a strangled but deadly right, beats Donnarumma for the 1-0 Neapolitan. The match lights up and Gattuso’s men are immediately close to doubling with Fabian Ruiz, who kicks hard from the edge calling the Rossoneri goalkeeper to return; on the other front, the protagonist is still Leao, too shy in the volley on Rebic’s perfect cross. In the final, Pioli’s team tries everything in search of a draw, between so much confusion, nervousness, the expulsion of Rebic and the episode of the penalty not whistled to Theo Hernandez, just touched by Bakayoko but judged to be all regular by the referee also with the on field review. It ends 1-0, Napoli wins.
