Napoli is unable to react and raise the pace to find gaps in a very narrow line-up like the Lazio one in which the attacking outsiders retreat on the line of the midfielders in the defensive phase with Milinkovic-Savic who is placed just behind the Immobile. After the initial blaze the race does not give great emotions with the hosts managing the possession and closing the gates and the guests unable to raise the pace and find spaces to attack to arrive dangerously from the parts of Provedel.

Shortly after vibrant protests for a wide arm of Mario Rui on the face of Lazzari that the referee judges involuntary by not whistling the penalty kick and admonishing Milikovic-Savic for protests. The Brazilian Felipe Anderson is the most on the ball of him and with a header he calls Meret to the great save when 71 minutes have passed. The race is now in jerks with attacks and counterattacks that create dangers, but fail to change the result. The best opportunity happens to Pedro who goes away in solitary percussion in the 90 ‘, but does not frame Meret’s goal by a whisker. Curtain.
