The champion made the suspense last. Naples had to wait for additional time to overcome Cagliari 1 to 0 and go back to the top of Serie A on Saturday on the second day. The Napoli dominated its Sardinian opponent, but Scott Mctuminay (45th, 90th+3) and Leonardo Spinazzola (60th) stumbled on the opposing goalkeeper Elia April. Salvation came from the Cameroonian environment Frank Anguissa who, after additional time (90+5), delivered the Diego-Armando-Maradona stadium.
Three months ago, the Napoli dominated Cagliari 2 to 0 in this same stadium, a success during the 38th and last day of the season which had offered him the fourth Scudetto of his history. With this victory and while waiting for Inter Milan’s matches against Udinese and Juventus Turin on the Genoa field on Sunday, Naples is in the lead with six points like Cremonese (2nd), winner the day before Sassuolo (3-2) and AS Rome (3rd).
Bergamo always blocked, Côme beaten
Roma took the best on the promoted Pisa (1-0) for its second match under the direction of Gianpero Gasperini.
The former Gasperini club, Atalanta, has still not won this season: the Bergamo club was held in check by Parma (1-1) and points to ninth place (2 pts). The ambitious camel bowed 1 to 0 in Bologna and demoted in seventh row (3 pts).
