At the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Naples experienced a frustrating evening against Bologna during this 36th day of Serie A. The visitors quickly took control thanks to Bernardeschi, scoring in the 9th minute on a pass from Juan Miranda. More realistically, Italiano’s men then doubled the lead in the 34th minute thanks to a penalty converted by Orsolini, obtained after intervention by the VAR. Naples, however, reacted just before the break with an important goal from Di Lorenzo in added time (45+2), completely restarting the match before returning to the locker room.
After the break, the Neapolitans continued their strong play and quickly equalized thanks to Alisson Santos, served by Højlund in the 48th minute. Carried by their public, Conte’s men pushed to take the advantage, but Bologna remained dangerous on the counterattack. While the match seemed headed for a draw, Rowe finally gave the visitors victory in added time (90+1), plunging the stadium into silence. Bologna thus won (3-2) at the end of a spectacular and cruel match for Naples.
