THE GAME
Great game at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium! In the duel for the lead, Napoli started well and had good chances to score, but failed to take advantage. The one who shone was Dimarco. The Inter left-back opened the scoring with a free kick in the 21st minute. Dimarco sent a beautiful left-footed shot into the top corner, leaving Meret with no chance. After that, Napoli continued to attack, but the score remained 1-0 to Inter.
Napoli were the only team in the second half. There were many chances for a team that was looking to score at all costs. Inter defended well and prevented the home team from equalizing for a long time, but they were unable to avoid a 1-1 draw. In the 42nd minute, Billing, a midfielder who came on almost like a striker, shot with his left and saw Martínez save. Without giving up, he finished with his right and tied the game for Napoli.
