The Naples does not make discounts: thanks to Koulibaly's two goals and Milik's paw takes the three points, sends back the Scudetto to Juventus and chases Chievo (who scored with Cesar at the last action) in Serie B. It was just a question of time for Di Carlo's team, whose championship has been suffering since last summer. However, the bitterness remains for this relegation (the second in the history of the Campedelli club after that of 2007) which came after a season that was too tormented: Chievo has the worst attack and the worst defense in Serie A and won only once: inevitable fall.
KOULIBALY UNLOCK THE MATCH - For its part, Napoli has made a series of experiments that could be useful in view of Thursday's match at Arsenal in the Europa League quarter-finals. Ghoulam to the left has given ample guarantees and on the bands Callejon and Insigne have behaved well. The goal that unlocked the game reached the quarter of an hour: Mertens' corner and Koulibaly's imperious header. Ten minutes later Chiriches, brought in by a shot by Insigne, ate a goal almost made to head.
NAPOLI ON VELVET - In the second half the game continued at not too high rates, with Napoli controlling the situation and Chievo, without stimulation, which was adequate. The Azzurri went very close to doubling in the 16th minute: splendid action on the left of Insigne who served Milik, whose conclusion came out very little. It was the prelude to the doubling, arrived three minutes later: great left from the distance always of the Pole with the ball finished at the corner to the right of Sorrentino. Shortly after, Ancelotti began to think about Thursday's race: he took off Insigne (for Allan) and Fabian Ruiz (inside Younes) and in the meantime Callejon tried to find a set, but Sorrentino told him no. Ten minutes from the end, here is the doubling of Koulibaly (great shot on the development of a corner), which has definitively closed the game. Shortly before the triple whistle Chievo scored with Cesar headed, with the defense of Napoli already having the head to Arsenal.
