Udinese hopes for it, then stumbles: Napoli comes back and takes the victory

It ends 2-1 for the Neapolitans at Maradona: Cioffi’s team returns to lose after four useful results in a row

NAPLES. Napoli wins in comeback with Udinese 2-1 and temporarily grabs Milan at the top of the standings at 63 points, waiting for the Rossoneri match against Cagliari. Once again Osimhen’s brace decides after the one in Verona, while Deulofeu’s momentary Juventus advantage is useless. Cioffi’s team returns to lose after four useful results in a row.

The Maradona match is sparkling and full of opportunities both on one side and the other, with the first two chances happening to Beto and Insigne who with two head shots do not frame the mirror. At 22 ‘the advantage of Udinese signed by Deulofeu arrives, who receives at the limit and leaves a right-footed shot that strikes Ospina. The Colombian goalkeeper, on the other hand, is providential in denying Pablo Marì the double in the 31st minute, while on the other side Silvestri also takes the chair who first blocks Insigne and then Fabian Ruiz.

In the second half, Spalletti’s team starts with their foot pressed on the accelerator and in the 52nd minute finds the equalizer with the usual Osimhen, who heads off Mario Rui’s free-kick, signing the 1-1. About ten minutes pass and the Nigerian striker repeats himself on an assist from Di Lorenzo, reversing the situation with his second consecutive brace, even touching the hat-trick that is canceled for an offside position. Udinese is no longer able to react and in the final is forced to close even in numerical inferiority for the red remedied by Pablo Marì, for a bad foul against Zielinski. The last opportunities from Friuli are two free-kicks from an inviting position, both kicked on the wall by Deulofeu.
