Napoli sinks in Como, Inter remains at +1

A very heavy defeat, which could severely affect the Scudetto race.

Napoli defeated in Como, where the hosts won 2-1 a beautiful and balanced match in which, però the partenopei paid dearly for a very serious mistake. The Sinigaglia defeat in fact keeps Antonio Conte’s team at -1 from the leading Inter. And next Saturday there's the direct clash at the Maradona, which at this point could prove even more delicate for the partenopei.

The stakes è high, Napoli knows it, and in the first minutes of the match comes a trademark mistake: he commits it on 7' Rrahmani, who receives the ball from a throw-in and leans it backwards for Meret, who was out of position forò. The ball rolls into the net and gives Como the most incredible of lead goals. The reaction of the guests forò there'è, è at 17' Raspadori already centered; the equalizer taking advantage in turn of a lightness of Kempf.

With the game readjusted, one would expect Napoli to have a knife between its teeth. Como però plays it out, and even tries for the new lead with Valle and Diao. The Parthenopeans, on the other hand, dominate ball possession, but create one more chance only late in the half with Politano. And the theme repeats itself even at the beginning of the second half: Campani looking for openings, Larians dangerous (this time with Da Cunha).

Conte tries to solve the rebus of the match by playing the cards Anguissa and Simeone, Fabregas responds boldly by sending in Cutrone showing that he even wants to win it. And in the end he succeeds: after a miracle by Butez on McTominay, at 77' Nico Paz sows panic in the host defense and serves Diao the ball that sends Como into ecstasy and creates many more headaches for Napoli.
