The game
The first half didn’t have many emotions, despite Napoli having more possession of the ball. In the 19th minute, Politano crossed for Raspadori’s header, which was deflected by the defense.
From the corner kick, the ball fell to Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who crossed for Hirving Lozano. Hellas Verona’s defense pushed towards their own goal and scored against. The attempt, however, was disallowed because Lozano, who interfered in the bid, was offside.
In the 28th minute, the visitors responded with Kevin Lasagna, who shot hard from the corner, but saw his shot saved by Meret.
In the second stage, the game maintained the same dynamics. In the 10th minute, Di Lorenzo received a cross from Anguissa and headed to the ground. The ball bounced past the crossbar and went out. At 37 minutes, the top scorer of the Italian, Victor Osimhen, who entered the second half, took advantage of the wrong pass from Verona’s defense and sent a bomb. The ball, however, hit the crossbar. As a result, the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
