Serie A: Fiorentina continues, Naples still powerless against Monza

An afternoon with soporific virtues. If Ligue 1, the Bundesliga or even the Liga have been cut during this winter break, this is not the case for the Premier League or Serie A. This Friday afternoon, two matches took place on the lawns of Italy: Fiorentina – Torino and Naples – Monza. We had to wait almost 170 minutes before seeing a goal, which finally appeared on the Florence side. Long held in check, the Viola won 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Luca Ranieri (83rd, 1-0). A very capital achievement, which allows Fio to consolidate its 4th place in the championship, synonymous with qualification for the C1.

On the other hand, the reigning Neapolitan champion did not experience the same fortune on his lawn. Worse, he could have been beaten by Monza, unfortunate on Pessina’s missed penalty (68th). At the end of the match, the Partenopei still intensified the moments of heat in front of the opposing cages, but without any real success like Gaetano, alone but clumsy against Di Gregorio (90+1). In the standings, this draw does not do the business of Naples, still 7th in the championship and winner only twice in its last 7 outings. Monza remains 11th.
