Juventus – Napoli 1-1: Endure the decimated “Partenopei” in Turin

The great game between Juventus and Napoli in Turin did not find a winner. The final one 1-1 for the 20th Serie A game left both teams disappointed as they lost ground to the goals they had set for the end of the season.

The “partenopei” may be more satisfied with the degree, even if he leaves her behind in the title race. The enormous failure problems made them the absolute underdog in the game and were even able to take the lead with a shot by Dries Mertens in the 23rd minute.

The “partenopei” started without … a coach, because Luciano Spalletti is positive for coronavirus and with one … ninety absenteeism (Malkui, Osimen, Ruiz, Losano, Meret are sick, Rui will be punished, Koulibali, Zambo Aguisa and Unas are in the African Cup of Nations). They didn’t include the three players who are confused about whether they can play (Piotr Zielinski, Amir Rahmani, Stanislav Lobotka) or whether they should be quarantined at the suggestion of the local health authorities.

In this special climate, however, the guests had their good moments and were not given to the best prepared hosts, which limited their big problems in defense. In the 54th minute, Federico Chiesa was present, who had returned to the starting line-up after an injury and was equalized to 1: 1 with the help of a counterattack.

The arrival of Paulo Dimbala and the tiredness of the decimated “partenopei” tipped the record in the direction of Juventus, which however did not bring the desired dangers in the house of David Ospina and thus remained at 1: 1.
