This Monday evening, Serie A offered us a shock for second place with the clash between Naples and AC Milan. In the event of a home victory, the Partenopei had the opportunity to steal Inter’s runner-up place from their evening opponent. After a tough battle against the catchy, if not inspired, Milanese, the mission was successful for the Campania club.
Indeed, after a fairly soporific first act despite a few situations on both sides, the pace picked up upon returning from the locker room. Finally, Napoli knew how to accelerate at the best of times. Found on a cross from Olivera poorly repelled by De Winter, Politano – who came on the field a few minutes before – sent a powerful volley into the back of the net (1-0, 80th). A goal sufficient for Naples, which won by the smallest of margins and therefore moved up to second position in the ranking.
