Serie A – Napoli win 1-0 in Salerno and consolidate their first place

Naples continues to garner. The Partenopei won in Salerno (0-1) on Sunday, to chain a second success in a row and clinch a 10th victory this season. In case of success against AS Roma (8:45 p.m.), Milan would remain tied on points with Napoli, but in the event of a draw or defeat, Luciano Spalletti’s team would find themselves alone in the lead. a Serie A that it dominates for the moment with only one draw and no defeat (like Milan before its match in Rome).

In Salerno, the only goal of the match was scored by Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski, from the left in the penalty area, after a confused action in front of the goal of Slovenian goalkeeper Vid Belec (61st). Events then got a little excited with two exclusions in seven minutes, that of Cypriot Grigoris Kastanos on the Salernitana side for a delayed tackle on the right ankle of Cameroonian Franck Zambo Anguissa (70th), then that of the other Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly for a foul on the Nigerian Simy. Two exclusions that occurred after viewing the VAR.

Ribéry does not shine

The free kick at the edge of the penalty area which followed this second exclusion was taken by Franck Ribéry but the Frenchman’s shot was deflected by Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who came on his goal line to cover the right side of the cages guarded by Colombian David Ospina, former OGC Nice. The veteran Ribéry, promoted captain, seemed to blame the weight of his 38 years on Sunday, at no time making the difference with the ball to the foot.

Naples, also little to its advantage on this meeting, certainly played without its attackers Lorenzo Insigne, substitute, and Victor Osimhen, injured. La Salernitana, already promoted in great difficulty, remains nineteenth and penultimate with 2 wins, 1 draw and 8 defeats.
