“Napoli Celebrates Scudetto Victory with Final Whistle and Fireworks: Match Highlights”

In the 92nd minute Anguissa tries again from distance, this time his right-footed shot goes just to the right of Gollini. It’s the last chance before the final whistle.

“One day out of the blue…” sings the stadium throughout the recovery. In the distance, fireworks light up.

Fiorentina in the 88th minute with Kouamé almost equalized on the counterattack, but the ball went wide. However, Napoli is trying to close the game forward. The noise of the trumpets that accompanied the whole game returns to rise in tone. Anguissa shoots a couple of meters wide from a good position in the 90th minute.

In the 84th minute Zerbin came in for Elmas. The match is heading towards the end and towards the long-awaited Scudetto party (but the official ceremony, we remind you, will only be on June 4th after the championship is over).

Maradona always sings, while thousands of fans who have not been able to enter gather outside. In the 80th minute Gollini is frightened by Nico Gonzalez free in the center of the area: the Argentine does not hit the goal.

Immediately after the goal, the Italian changes two others: Kouamé and Saponara for Amrabat and Sottil; immediately after Spalletti gives the standing ovation to Osimhen and sends Simeone onto the field in front of the eyes of father Diego Pablo.

Victor Osimhen chooses the same side of the previous penalty and this time converts with power (and surpasses George Weah in the ranking of the best African scorers in the history of Serie A with 47 goals).

The Var confirms the penalty. Osimhen goes again

Fiorentina have drawn three of their last five league games (including one win and one defeat): the same number of draws they had in the previous 18 (W9, L6).

Double change in Fiorentina: Castrovilli and Mandragora take over Bonaventura and Duncan.

In the 62nd minute Olivera goes down the left and puts Osimhen in the center: the ball travels so fast that it gets lost in a lateral foul on the opposite side. A minute later Osimhen of power goes away to Milenkovic and hits the crossbar with a rebound from a lob, but he had committed a foul on the lily defender.

(Monica Scozzafava) Osimhen’s is the sixth missed penalty. Napoli have beaten 16 between the league and the Champions League, and errors are two out of 8 in the league (Politano in Genoa and Osimhen today).

The pace of the game has dropped. Fiorentina, probably more motivated, try to get ahead more frequently.

Osimhen tries to go away on the right and take a corner in the 55th minute, in vain. Fiorentina can start again.

Amrabat tries to redeem himself from the mistake with a shot from outside the area: central ball and easy save by Gollini.

The Nigerian kicks badly, Terracciano dives to the left and rejects. The goalkeeper then also intervenes on Di Lorenzo’s retaliation.

Lobotka, as soon as he entered, takes a penalty for a foul by Amrabat.

It starts again with Lobotka for Demme and Zielinski for Raspadori. He ball in the blue feet.

Napoli have won only one of their last five home league games (two draws, in their last two, and two defeats): they haven’t recorded consecutive “X” home matches in the top division since February 2010, with Walter Mazzarri on the bench, when there were four .

(Monica Scozzafava) He ends his match in tears and carried in his arms to the locker room. Hirving Lozano after a contrast forces the referee Marchetti to stop the challenge because he remains on the ground and despairs. He touches his ankle, the impression is that he has injured himself with a false movement.

(Andrea Serene) Lozano in tears. One minute from the end of the first half, the Mexican was forced to leave the field supported by members of the Napoli medical staff. To assess his injury.

(Andrea Serene) Napoli ended the first half on a crescendo. He raised the pressing, and so the center of gravity. Meanwhile, the fans continue their show with chants and waving flags.

At 43′ Lozano shows botha and fight with Amrabat: the ball reaches Osimhen on the left and the Nigerian lands on the outside of the net defended by Terracciano; In the 46th minute Lozano gets hurt: Kvaratskhelia enters.

(Andrea Serene) Napoli is trying to raise the pressure, and so the center of gravity. A couple of occasions for Osimhen, some initiatives by Lozano who, however, makes the wrong choice at the climax. Spalletti fidgets on the bench as if he were an orchestra conductor. Meanwhile, the fans continue their show with chants and waving flags.

(Monica Scozzafava) Paolo Sorrentino is already on the sidelines: orange bib and gaze at the blue Maradona. As he has said several times, as a child he watched the game from his distincts.

In the 36th minute Sottil won a free-kick on the right which was unsuccessful. On the counterattack, Lozano tries to serve Osimhen in the area: high header; in the 39th minute Terzic served the usual Jovic in the area and again Napoli, with Kim, took refuge in a corner kick.

In the 31st minute Osimhen finally receives in depth and tries the conclusion from the right corner of the area: he doesn’t find the mirror, but finally he is served properly. Two minutes later Di Lorenzo triangulates with Raspadori and then finishes with a right footed volley: a weak ball in Terracciano’s arms. The Maradona crowd warms up (more than before);

So far, ball possession is 67% in Fiorentina’s feet, which also boasts two goalless shots (and the three corners mentioned).

(Andrea Serene) Fiorentina prepared the match very well. Igor plays glued to Osimhen, Bonaventura’s position is bothering Demme and Anguissa a lot. The Viola get the ball rolling, Napoli wait and try to start again. An unpublished script for Spalletti’s team.

Fiorentina constantly keeps pressing high, grinding meters and corner kicks. On the opposite side Osimhen tries to show himself in the 23rd minute but he is too lonely and the lily defense manages to keep him away.

(Andrea Serene) There is a particular excitement at the Maradona. Napoli seems to be anesthetized, in a bubble. Fiorentina have already made themselves dangerous twice, always with Jovic.

(Andrea Serene) Naples looking to the future. In Maradona (there is no room for a pin in the stands) dressed to the nines Spalletti gives space to many reservists. So here are Gollini, Ostigard, Demme. And again Elmas and Raspadori, two players from whom Napoli will start again next season.

In the 18th minute Ostigard still lost Jovic who went to a conclusion and earned a corner kick for a new deflection by Gollini. On the developments of the flag throw the blue defense manages to free.

Perhaps for satisfaction, perhaps because Fiorentina tries to do well in the home of the Italian champions, but Napoli starts slowly. And in the 14th minute Jovic’s head scares Gollini again.

«The party for the scudetto? I’m very happy. At the moment I don’t have particular images in mind: it is rather a set of moments that are difficult to describe that I will carry with me forever». The sporting director of Napoli, Cristiano Giuntoli, declared this to the microphones of Dazn. «Right now I’m trying to realize the extraordinary thing done and enjoy it, then we’ll think about the future. I’ve been here for eight years and I keep hearing about the cycle: we haven’t changed many players in recent years, so, with De Laurentis as president, I wouldn’t be very worried.”

Napoli’s response, in the 7th minute, was a shot by Elmas from the edge: the ball went wide to the left, watched over by Terracciano.

In this phase, Fiorentina was more dangerous: in the 5th minute, on a cross from Terzic in the box, Jovic headed off but the ball went high.

« How nice to be together with Spalletti, Cholo and Maradona. Go Napoli forever”. Thus, on Twitter, the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis, who posted a photo where he is portrayed alongside the Neapolitan coach and Diego Simeone at the foot of the statue depicting Diego Maradona.

The match started 2′ late.

Fiorentina enters the field first and arranges themselves around the entrance to act as a walkway of honor to Napoli.

The party continues and today at the Maradona it will be even longer, it will last well beyond the referee’s triple whistle with a sort of proclamation-show in front of the crowd of great occasions: the match against Fiorentina has an emotional meaning, in the memory of the match itself of 5 May 1987, but up to a certain point: Spalletti has already sewn the Scudetto to his chest compared to Diego and his gang, who won it instead against the Viola.
