Torino-Napoli 3-0 and Udinese-Lazio 1-2
Napoli goes down in Turin, falling under the blows of Sanabria, Vlasic and Buongiorno: dry 3-0 by the granata over the Azzurri. In the other 3 p.m. Sunday match of Serie A’s 19th day, Lazio eviscerated Udine thanks to goals from Luca Pellegrini and Vecino (Walace’s goal was the momentary equalizer).
At the ‘Grande Torino’ the first real chance comes from Napoli on 25'with Raspadori, who served by Di Lorenzo, kicks from a few steps, but Milinkovic-Savic overcomes. At the end of the first half, the Granata took the lead thanks to a goal by Sanabria, who took advantage of a touch by Zapata on a free kick by Ilic. In the second half Mazzocchi entered but was sent off after only 4 minutes: Napoli thus remained in ten and sank. On 53' Vlasic signed the double for the hosts with a right-footed shot to the corner from the edge, on an assist from Zapata. At 66' Toro drops the tris with Buongiorno, who pierces Gollini with a header on the development of a corner.
At the 'Bluenergy Stadium' in Udine, Lazio immediately unlocked the match with a Luca Pellegrini free kick, which mocked Okoye at his post. In the second half Udinese evened the score with Walace grazing a low free kick from Lovric. At 76' the guests went back ahead thanks to the goal of the newly entered Vecino, who beat Okoye with a precise diagonal, on a header assist from Felipe Anderson.
