Naples has been categorically imposed on their own ground in front of those at Empoliscore 3-0, in the epilogue of the round with the number 32 of the series A. Thus, Antonio Conte's band remains a thorn in the coast of those at Inter in the fight for the title.
The program of stage #32 of the Serie A
The Napoletans were not allowed to walk crooked tonight, because they would have lost contact with Simone Inzaghi's band in the standings. However, the formation of Stadio Diego Armando Maradona did not have emotions in the duel with Empoli, which he won in a non -presentation score.
Lukaku and Mctminay, protagonists in Naples – Empoli 3-0
The hosts opened the score in the 18th minute. Romelu Lukaku protected the ball very well in the middle of the field, then launched Scott Mctminay with an excellent pass.
He advanced with the ball to the foot, and when he arrived near the opponent, he executed Vasquez.
The increase of the advantage came in the 56th minute. Found in an ideal position by Mathias Olivera's pass, Lukaku took over the ball and successfully completed the guest gate.
Five minutes later, Mctminay set the final score of the match, passing his first “double” in Napoli's shirt. Lukaku was the man with the focus, and the Scottish midfielder resumed his head in Vasquez's net.
As a result of this result, Antonio Conte's band has accumulated 68 points and restored the three -length difference to the Inter leader, and thus the fight for “Scudetto” remains an open one.
In addition, the “Nerazzurra” band has an extremely difficult program in the next period. After the return with Bayern from the Champions League, Simone Inzaghi's students will play on the Bologne's field in the championship, and then will face AC Milan, in the semifinals of the Italy Cup.
Also, Inter will have two more difficult duels in series A in this end of the season. AS Roma and Lazio will come to Giuseppe Meazza.
On the other hand, the group of Roberto d'A Aversa remained 24 points and descended on 19, the penultimate position in the standings. At this moment, the gap to the first place above the red line, occupied by Lecce, measures two lengths.
In the next stage of Serie A, Napoli will evolve on the field of the last ranked Monza, while Empoli will receive the visit to Venezia.
