Serie A: Naples hung on the gong by Cagliari

Inducted into the leadership of Naples at the start of the week, Francesco Calzona will still have to wait for his first victory. Four days after a draw against Barça in the Champions League (1-1), the Neapolitans were again held in check this Sunday in Serie A against Cagliari (1-1).

If we long believed the Partenopei would win with Victor Osimhen’s goal shortly after the hour mark (0-1, 65th), his 8th of the season, the young Zito Luvumbo finally dampened the Neapolitan ardor in the very last moments of the match (90+6th, 1-1). With this result, Naples remains stuck in the middle of the table (9th). Cagliari is penultimate in the championship.
