Turin finds in Naples a worthy conclusion to this truly bitter 2020: once again, the grenades fail to maintain a result. Giampaolo’s team takes the lead with Izzo, plays a careful and tedious game but watches the victory fade right into the most beautiful due to Insigne’s goal in the 92nd minute. The grenades close 2020 in last place in Serie A after savoring a victory that was missing in Naples since 2009, the year of the last relegation to Serie B. And the count of points lost by advantage is updated: now they turn 23, a true nightmare that is also repeated in “Diego Armando Maradona”.
AL 45 ′ – Toro plays a good first half, taking few risks and also creating good opportunities. After the first minutes of study, the first shot on goal is the grenade and it arrives with Verdi, but Meret is careful and saves. Then the race wears off with both teams playing with great attention on defense and maneuvering as quickly as possible. Around 30 ‘the grenades began to continuously worry the Neapolitans. First it is Belotti who tries the blow from outside, but it comes out a little. Then it is Izzo who does not lightly hit a ball topped from the near post by Buongiorno. In the final Gattuso’s boys reappear supported by Zielinski’s plays. The Pole tries twice, but first kicks slightly to the side and then to the center.
FINAL – Napoli got off to a better start in the second half, but Torino held on, raised his head and at 58 ‘he also went ahead. Short corner to the left, Verdi hits in the middle, the ball is missing at the first post and Izzo comes out in the second, He crushes the ball and scores the advantage of the grenade. The exaltation of the Neapolitan defender, who runs towards Giampaolo to hug him, is significant. Turin is ahead but unlike other occasions as the minutes go by, Giampaolo’s boys do not withdraw but manage to keep up with the Neapolitans and try to hit the counterattack, but they always make the last play wrong. In the final Gattuso inserts Llorente and Lozano and with an extra tower Napoli tries by all means to put balls in the middle. At 84 ‘Belotti is still the protagonist, but his left-handed conclusion finds the prompt response of Meret. In the restart it is Lozano who looks for the diagonal, but kicks in the center and finds the prompt opposition of Sirigu. Giampaolo’s first substitutions come only in the 88th minute and there are even three (Zaza, Meité and Vojvoda for Belotti, Lukic and Rodríguez: paper for paper). Until then, the Naples was pretty well controlled by grenades. Il Toro, however, is not a team to live in calm endings and in fact at 92 ‘he arrives very punctual the host peer signed Insigne. Nice right foot of the Napoli captain at the far post after a good bench from Zielinski. The last 4 minutes of the race are convulsive, but the grenades manage to avoid a worse insult. Before the game, a draw would have been welcome, but as it matures it has more of a joke flavor and “gives” Turin a Christmas in last place.
