Despite leading the scoreboard, Napoli failed on Friday in their visit to a Fiorentina who, after 2-2, remain in eighth place, giving access to the Conference League, with one game remaining in Serie A to be played.
It has now been six consecutive days without a win for a Naples that cannot get out of a crisis that has lasted since winning the ‘Scudetto’ more than a year ago. Since then he lost his coach and worked with three different coaches, became the worst champion in the season following his victory and was almost absent from European competitions. The group of Francesco Calzona It remains ninth, two points behind Fiorentina itself.
Rrahmani advanced to Napoli
Since the draw against ‘Fiore’, with one game less, they are almost condemned to pray that ‘Viola’ may not win the two remaining games or win the final of the current edition of the Conference League against the Spanish Olympiacos Jose Luis Mendilibar.
And Napoli have a balsamic victory on their hands to put a disastrous season on track after an early goal by Rrahmani with a corner kick that gave them the lead in the 8th minute.
Two goals from ‘Fiore’ in three minutes
They were ahead of the scoreboard for most of the first half, but in just three minutes they conceded twice. It takes a toll on Napoli every time they concede a goal. ‘Fiore’ knows this and presses it after the initial of Biraghi, with a perfect free kick, to seal the second, from Nzolaafter a glaring ball release error from the Neapolitans that the Angolan did not let escape.
Francesco Calzona’s team reacted in the second half thanks to their best player, a Kvicha Kvaratskhelia that tries every way, but is not enough to accomplish everything by itself. The Georgian tied the score with a fine goal from a free kick, straight into the top corner, which gave his team a boost. In fact, not long after, Politano The winning goal was in his hands, but His shot hit the post.
Naples failed again, this time against a direct rival. The eleventh failure of an era to forget with just one day left. They are forced to win against Lecce. And then wait. The ‘Fiore’, on the other hand, have in their hands the option of playing in the Europa League if they win the Conference League, the last of which they lost last year against West Ham.
