Napoli 2-1 Roma: The champions confirmed Mourinho with goals from Osimen and Simeone

How can this year’s Scudetto miss it? Napoli are a charming side who have been impressive in defense and attack from matchday one in this season’s Serie A and what is impressive is that they are catching up with their pursuers towards the end of the season.

The last impressive leap towards the title came at home on Sunday night (29/01) with Roma making it difficult but Luciano Spalletti’s team finding a way to take another three points with Osimen scoring the goals and Simeone scoring a 2-1 Victory and to start it at +13 against 2nd Inter, but also at +15 against Lazio, Atalanta and Milan, all huddled in third place.

In the “Derby of the Sun” the Romans reached the goal in the 12th minute through a tragic misunderstanding between Kim and Merett, which by a few centimeters did not turn into one of the most epic own goals of the year, but instead 1-0 for Napoli five minutes later .

Kvaratthelia took the cross and Osimen checked the ball twice (first with his chest, then with his leg) without it touching the ground to unleash a one-shot lightning shot from the box for the 1-0, the 14th Serie A goal year (like last year) after his Georgia teammate’s 10th assist this year.

That goal gave the Partenopei the reins of the game and they were in full control until the end of the first half, with Roma’s best moment being Spinazola’s shot at 45+3, which forced Meret into a great intervention.

The picture changed in the second half as the Romans not only balanced but looked more dangerous against the leaders and in the 75th minute Jose Mourinho’s first substitution of the game, Stephan El Saarawi executing Meret from close range in front of Zalewski, became righteous clubs (1-1)

That goal froze ‘Maradona’ for a few minutes and seemed poised to spoil Napoli’s party a day after Jose Mourinho’s horrific remark that ‘Napoli have already won the league’, but it seems that Napoli’s players are up the Portuguese heard and insisted. .. justify him.

Simeone came on as a substitute in the 76th minute and ten minutes later the Argentinian striker got a pass at penalty area level which the Argentinian striker delivered with a skillful body twist over the left flank into the left ‘window’ to write Rui Patricio and 2-1.

A result that lasted until the final, marking Napoli’s 17th win in their first 20 games, with the +13 point difference over Inter being the widest difference between first and second in Serie A after 20 games since 1994-95 was, and then victory gives three points.
