Anguissa drags Napoli to Lecce, Camarda misses penalty shot

Napoli made no mistake in Lecce: Antonio Conte’s team overcame the Salentini 1-0 at the Via del Mare, securing its leadership in the Serie A standings in the match valid for the ninth day of the championship. Decisive Anguissa in the second half, there are regrets for Di Francesco’s lineup that misses a penalty kick with Camarda.

First half played at a good pace but stingy with emotions. The two teams studied each other, the Italian champions, deprived of the injured De Bruyne, created the first dangers with Politano and Lang, who were not very precise. The Salentini make themselves seen only from outside the area with Berisha, also without luck. At 34′ Falcone makes the first save on the conclusion of Olivera, assisted by Gilmour. The first 45′ ended here.

At the beginning of the second half problems for Lang: Conte is forced to replace him with Neres. Huge opportunity wasted by the Giallorossi at 55′: Lecce earns a penalty kick for Juan Jesus’ hand touch, but Camarda shoots weakly and gets the penalty parried by Milinkovic-Savic.

Conte decides to change the scoreline.

Conte decides to change half the team: out Lucca, Politano and Olivera, in Spinazzola, McTominay and Hojlund. Napoli raises its center of gravity and at 69′ finds the lead thanks to Anguissa, who scores with an imperious goring on a velvety free kick by Neres.

Di Francesco’s goal is a great success.

Di Francesco revolutionized the attack by inserting Stulic and Maleh, but Napoli managed without any particular problems, risking very little despite seven minutes of recovery time. In the final Conte’s team has a chance to double on the counterattack but Neres misses the last cross. Triple whistle, Napoli still in command.
