SSC Napoli – AS Roma: result and match report

SSC Napoli faced AS Roma in a match whose stake was actually fifth place in the table. For it could be the players from Naples in the event of victory. Arkadiusz Milik and Piotr Zieliński appeared on the pitch from the beginning of the meeting.

From the very beginning the confrontation was dynamic and there was no shortage of quick actions on both sides. In the 13th minute Fabian Ruiz took over the stray ball and fired an unsigned shot at Romy’s goal. Pau Lopez perfectly defended. Guest goalkeeper a moment later stood up to the challenge, defending Milik’s shot.

The Polish striker was very active in the first half. Once he even hit the crossbar after a head shot. In the 41st minute Pau Lopez had to remain vigilant again after his shot. AS Roma in the first half did not have such good situations.

Pau Lopez also had to be vigilant in the second half. Immediately at its beginning, the ball took a strange rotation after the Davide Zappacosta die. The goalkeeper of the Romans had to throw it on the corner. In the 55th minute, the Napoli players finally got their way. Mario Rui sent the perfect box into the box. First the ball was touched by Mario Ibanez, and a moment later by Jose Maria Callejon and he gave the hosts the lead.

Zieliński had his chance in the 57th minute, but he hit too weakly. In the 60th minute unexpectedly equalized Roma, who has not had any situation so far. Henrik Mchitarjan ran the ball for a long time until he hit the penalty box and hit the Napoli net.

After the equalizing goal as if the air came from the players of SSC Napoli, who no longer attacked with such fierceness. Noteworthy was only Zieliński’s shot from a distance fifteen minutes before the end, but it was not a very good attempt. Lorenzo Insigne saved the Neapolitans in the 82nd minute, who ran into the side area of ​​the penalty area and so tightened the ball that the “croissant” hit the very post next to the helpless Pau Lopez.

A moment later, however, the visitors’ goalkeeper perfectly defended the shot of Dries Mertens, who broke off from the counter and tried on the long corner. A moment later, Napoli’s players even put the ball in Roma’s goal, but the referee whistled offside.
