incidents
Match corresponding to day 22 of Serie A played at the Diego Armando Maradona.
Luciano Spalletti’s team opened the scoring 21 minutes into the game with a great goal from Kvaratskhelia, who entered the area and did not forgive. The Georgian attacker continues to show every week that he is one of the fittest players in Europe. After the goal, the Cremonese sought an equalizer without success but prevented the locals from increasing the gap.
The Neapolitans sealed the victory in the second half after a few first minutes of scoring. The visiting team ran into a Meret who was very confident on the few occasions in which he had to intervene.
Spalletti’s men went one step further with the aim of sealing off the match and found themselves with the prize of the goal after the hour of the game. Victor Osimhen caught a rejected ball after a corner to make it 2-0 in the light.
As the game entered the final stretch, Eljif Elmas appeared to seal the duel with a great definition. The Neapolitans showed no mercy to Cremonese, bottom team in Serie A, and put pressure on Inter, who will face Fiorentina tomorrow with the aim of maintaining the 13-point distance in the table.
