Napoli loses in the Super Cup final against Inter and is still in the doldrums

LAUTARO MARTÍNEZ SCORE THE GOAL OF THE ‘NERAZZURRI’ TRIUMPH

Lautaro Martínez left to the Napolés without the Supercopa of Italy and expanded the hegemony of the Inter of Milan with his third consecutive title in this contest. After several dangerous attacks to the rival area, the ones of Simone Inzaghi achieved to beat the goal defended by Pierluigi Gollini with a finish almost to pleasure of the Argentinian forward. The ‘nerazzurri’ carried the duel in the time added and playing from the minute 60 with numerical superiority by the expulsion of Giovanni Simeone, that saw the second yellow by an entrance on Francesco Acerbi.

The napolitanos confirmed his bad moment to a month to confront to the FC Barcelona in the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League. Moved away of the places that give access to the Champions (are ninth in the classification, but only to three points of Florentina), the team of Walter Mazzari has extremely complicated his aspirations to heave the ‘Scudetto’. His aim is right now classify for the League of Champions of the next year and recover feelings after the painful defeat in front of the Inter.

The ‘partenopeos’ are living an irregular campaign, chaining victories and defeats of consecutive form. The bad results caused the dismissal of Rudi García, that after 16 alone parties achieved the victory in eight of them. The detonante was the defeat in front of a group in places of descent, the Empoli and the tie in Champions in front of a recently arrived to the competition, the Union Berlin. His substitute was the Italian Walter Mazzarri, that already trained to the the valid champions of the Series To between 2009-2013. The victory in League in front of the Salernitana was key to face the Supercopa, but in front of the Inter confirmed again the bad feelings.

A final equalised that it decided in the last minutes

The Naples stuck to the last compasses of the meeting to arrive to the batch of penaltis and have possibility to raise the longed for title. The staged of the group napolitano was surprising, since it went out with three defences in place of four. The final began well for the ‘partenopeos’, but to the fourteen minutes arrived the first warning, been born of a volley of Federico Dimarco, that went out brushing the stick.

The Naples grieve could go out of his area, but followed holding the attacks of an Inter that was not very precise. It arrived the rest of a commitment quite parejo, but that by moments seemed to decant in favour of the ‘nerazzurri’.

After the halftime, arrived the first finish of a cast napolitano that resisted to the command milanés until the expulsion of his leading centre. With a man more, the Inter took advantage of the numerical superiority to create more danger in attack. In spite of the fault of tarpaulin, the insistence finish having his reward with a lapidarian annotation of Lautaro Martínez in the minute 91, which would put definite figures in the marker, sentencing the victory of the picture of Simone Inzaghi.
