NAPLES TIRED, UNLUCKY AND DISAPPEARED, SHAMEY ARGITOR. BUT THE SARRI GROUP WINS THE SAME

With Juventus not losing touch, Napoli at the San Paolo against Chievo had only one useful result to continue to hope for the Scudetto fight: to win. Staged stadium. Sarri defended Tonelli in defense and Diawara in the middle of the field to replace the disqualified Albiol and Jorginho. Usually attack with the three little ones (Callejon, Insigne and Mertens) but lately they do not shine. Chievo is a tough team, defends with order and attacks on the counterattack with English and Giaccherini. The game is immediately in the hands of the blues who try to impose their game. At 15 minutes Callejon, served with a millimeter cross from the left from Insigne, devours a goal. Two minutes pass and it is always Insigne who frees himself in the area, pulling hard but the ball is deflected for a corner by a defender.

The second half begins with Insigne that alone in front of Sorrentino devours a goal. At 4 minutes, however, Mertens launched in the area is mowed. It’s a penalty: the Belgian champion is wrong.
Naples in trouble. At minute 27 Stepinsky, on error of Tonelli and Koulibaly, goes in goal. It is Chievo’s advantage: a shot, a goal. At 35 minutes still a miracle of Sorrentino shooting of Insigne. At 39 minutes still a miraculous rescue on the door of Chievo on Milik’s shot. Then the referee does not grant a very clear penalty in the area. The Polish scored a header of 43 minutes. At 47 minutes still a miracle of Sorrentino. Which then capitulates on a round shot of Diawara. Naples victorious.
