This Sunday, as part of the 5th day of Serie A, Fiorentina hosted Naples. An important meeting for the two teams, authors of a complicated start to the season. After two convincing performances, Fiorentina once again displayed its weaknesses from the start of the season against Napoli who were initially masters of their subject. Dominated and jostled in the first period, Paolo Vanoli’s men conceded the opener from a Matteo Politano corner taken by Billy Gilmour (1-1, 23rd).
More aggressive and enterprising after returning from the locker room, the Viola managed to sound a revolt under the leadership of a very restless Franco Mastantuono. A reaction materialized by the equalizer of Alex Jiménez on a serve from Cher Ndour. Like a disappointing Kevin De Bruyne, Naples faded throughout the match and conceded a logical draw against the Florentines who woke up too late. In the standings, Naples is ninth. Fio is 16th.
