“Napoli” destroyed “AS Roma” in their field with 4: 0 (1: 0).
Once in the Naples team, Diego Maradona, who has already passed away, also played for seven years, so the Napoli football players spent the Sunday duel in shirts specially designed to honor the football legend. Maradona died at the age of 60 last Wednesday.
There was a minute’s silence before all the Italian Series A games.
The first Maradona was awarded a beautiful goal by Captain Lorenso Insinje, who was able to deliver a free kick from about 20 meters when the ball passed the two-player wall. The captain grabbed his shirt a moment later and devoted a kiss to the tenth number with which Maradona once played on the field.
In the second half of the 19th minute, Fabians Ruiss hit 2: 0 with a strong blow to the ground, but until the end of the match, Drīss Mertens and Mateo Politano also stood out.
“There is grief in the air. Although the weather and the city are great, there is a mourning atmosphere around us,” said Gennaro Gatuzo, Napoli’s head coach, after the victory.
The match took a short break in the tenth minute, as Maradona was shown on the arena’s screen at the time, giving the applause to the players. Thanks to Maradona’s efforts, “Napoli” won their only trophies in the A series in 1987 and 1990. A year earlier, as part of the Maradona, the team managed to celebrate its success in the UEFA Cup, which is now called the Europa League tournament.
Meanwhile, AC Milan, without the well-known Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, won the Florence “Fiorentina” at home with 2: 0 (2: 0).
Ibrahimovic skipped this game because he suffered a leg muscle injury last week. Stefano Pioli, the head coach of the Milan club, who continues to recover from Covid-19, also did not take part in this match.
Alesio Romanjoli neatly controlled the ball after a short corner, and knocked it on to Fresks Kesijs who had the whole net open before him, but only managed to hit the post.
In the 40th minute, Cassia had another chance to meet the “pendulum”, but the second attempt was unsuccessful.
This was the 21st victory for the Milan team since June, when the Italian A-series resumed after the Covid-19 pandemic. The team has not suffered any losses since then.
In Rome, on the other hand, the local Lazio unexpectedly lost Udinese 1: 3 (0: 2).
The Roman team also played this game with specially designed shirts, thus honoring Maradona.
The Udinese team was scored by Tolgay Arslan, Ignasio Puseto and Fernando Forestieri. Significantly, Arslan’s goal for the Udinese team at Rome Stadium was the first in the last six years.
Siro Immobile hit Lazio in the 74th minute.
The day before, the champion of Turin “Juventus” lost points against “Benevento”, playing a draw 1: 1 (1: 1).
Alvaro Morata took the lead 21 minutes into the game, making the score 0 – 1 after some elegant movement down the middle. Jžaetano Leticia was the scorer.
After nine rounds, AC Milan took first place with 23 points, Milan’s Inter and Sassuolo with 18 points each, while Turin’s Juventus, Naples and AS Roma followed with 17 points.
