Lazio attacked from the first minute and an error in Tonelli accomplice, unable to score in the second minute. The match comes on, victims Mertens and Allan who are mowed in area with bad fouls. Just a few minutes pass and Lorenzo Insigne missed a play in front of the goalkeeper. very physical match with Napoli that seems a bit ‘lost.
