The home team did not lose their composure and found their first advantage with a signature noslin: ephemeral advantage, because the black beast Simeon it immediately hits, deluding Tale that his Naples-B can play the round of 16 at their best. It won't go exactly like that: between a sterile attack, a non-existent midfield and a disastrous defense, especially in the figure of Marine, the Azzurri still fall under the blows of noslin before launching the final assaults now that the starters are on the field. Practically the spoiler of what could happen in the second act, the one valid for the championship scheduled for Sunday at Maradona.

At 7' Pedro he puts in a cross that sets up the header Tchaouna which almost hits the target: the two try to find each other again shortly after, but this time the ball goes harmlessly wide Caprile. At 13' the Napoli appears in front for the first time when Simeon try to run ngonge, closed down beautifully by the home defense. On the counterattack rovella he takes matters into his own hands with a shot from outside that ends up far from the goal. At 17' Neres goes away to Patric and crosses for Simeon, but instead of hitting the ball with his head he does it with his hand: the referee Pairetto inevitably whistles. At 20' the referee does the same when PedroLaunched by Hysaj, is touched by Caprile, who then immediately redeemed himself by diving to block the penalty kicked by Weather in Zaccagni. Despite the missed opportunity, the Lazio continues to attack and in the 25th minute the captain himself serves Dele Bashiru, who from a good position sends the ball wide. At 27' Marine he is cautioned for a handball: from the developments of the free kick the shot of Patric crashes into the blue wall.

The reply of Napoli is entrusted to a cross of Neres on which it comes out well mandas: the action then ends with a foul by Zerbin su Weather in Zaccagni. THE'1-1 it's in the air and arrives in the 36th minute, when Simeon he slides before and better than Patric and corrects the so-so answer in the best possible way mandas on the razor's edge right Neres, good at taking the ball away from the feet of TchaounaThe Azzurri continue to hunt for the overtaking, but the goal is found by Lazio at 41': at the end of a breathless phase Pedro of heel arms the winning trailer of noslin, after the Biancocelesti had once again broken through on the left with an error of Breakers and a great rip-off of Hysaj, which he then exchanges with Weather in ZaccagniOnce again the hosts risk complicating their lives immediately after taking the lead: first rovella he's fiddling with the pressing of Folorunsho, anticipated by mandas, which he then repeated with a pure instinct save of the shin on the volley of Simeon, found by Neres before Pairetto whistle twice.

Second half

The teams return with the same players: among them there is a wild one noslin, who in the 50th minute first earned the corner with a deflected shot and then, in the continuation of the next action, scored his hat-trick with a header from a precise cross from Weather in Zaccagni, with Juan Jesus which he puts in his own net in a desperate attempt to avoid the worst. In the 58th minute the Lazio he almost scores a poker with a shot that Caprile It pushes back well before complicating its life later. On the other side it skids well Neres, one of the last of his to give up: the cross for Simeon it's great, the header of the cholito definitely less. Baroni opens the carousel of changes: inside Isaac e Guendouzi for Pedro e Weather in Zaccagni. In the 64st minute Isaac he crosses in for Tchaouna and Caprile intercepts with excellent timing. The Napoli he comes back to charge headlong, but gilmour from a distance he fires a wet patch that doesn't even hit the target.

Tale launches some starters to go hunting for a comeback: inside By Lorenzo, politan e McTominay for Zerbin, ngonge e Folorunsho: Baroni instead rely on Castrovilli for Dele Bashiru. At 74' Isaac apparatus for the insertion of Tchaouna, whose double attempt is first countered by Caprile and then by Spinazzola, who takes refuge in a corner.
