The game that closed the 18th round of the Italian league provided us with a summit battle in which Napoli defeated Napoli 0-1 at San Siro and overtook it on the way to second place. The only goal of the game was scored by Alif Almas in the fifth minute.
The trainees of Luciano Spalletti recorded the impressive victory precisely after two consecutive league losses and three consecutive without a win. Those of Stefano Fioli on the other hand, lost for the first time after three games and now the two teams stand at 39 points, four points away from the first Inter.
In the game itself, Alif Almas gave Napoli an early lead after a shot from Almas, who reached a corner kick by Piotr Zeilinski. Later, the game was balanced and both teams threatened the goals, but could not find the second goal. In the 90th minute Frank Cassia already thought he had equalized, but after a long VAR check, the goal was disqualified after a strange dissent and caused disappointment at San Siro.
