ALL THE MATCHES OF THE 28TH DAY
OF SERIE A RANKING
Napoli is slowing down its pursuit of Champions League qualification.
With Torino it ends 1-1 and Francesco Calzona's team fails to win their third consecutive victory.
The match was tough, marked by a bitter fight in every corner of the pitch with Torino defending the result with ardor and managing to bring home a point thanks to a very intense competitive performance.
Kvaratskhelia shines in Napoli as he drives the opposing defense crazy and manages to score just one goal only because Milinkovic-Savic is the author of an excellent performance and it is largely thanks to the goalkeeper that the Granata emerge undefeated against 'Maradona'.
As always, Torino is very aggressive and very rigid in man-marking and midfield and this inevitably ends up slowing down the construction of Napoli's offensive actions which only rarely find the possibility of serving Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia in depth.
Ivan Juric's team, who is in the stands due to disqualification and who is replaced on the bench by Matteo Paro, thanks to the incisiveness and ardor with which his midfielders manage to cover the central area of the pitch, manages in some circumstance to present himself threateningly in front of Meret's door.
Naples - Turin
In this sense, the work of Vlasic is fundamental as he occupies an intermediate position between the midfield and the attack and which the Azzurri are not always able to counter effectively.
In the first half, Napoli came close to scoring with a shot from Kvaratskhelia, deflected by Milinkovic-Savic, with a header from Osimhen which went over the crossbar and again with the Georgian who saw a header deflected into the corner by the Granata goalkeeper .
Torino responds with a shot from Zapata from a central position which is passed by Meret who manages to deflect.
The turning point of the match seemed to come in the 16th minute of the second half when Kvaratskhelia, after leading a very fast counterattack with Mario Rui, went to the center of the area to pick up the Portuguese's pass to deflect the ball past Milinkovic-Savic
.
The road to victory seems to be clearing for Napoli while instead Turin only needs three minutes to rebalance the result.
Zapata heads a cross from Gineitis's flag and a melee ensues in the penalty area.
Sanabria, who has just entered the field in place of Pellegri, positioned in front of the goal, takes advantage of an involuntary touch from Anguissa and sends the ball behind Meret with an overhead kick.
Calzona brings in Raspadori and Traorè in place of Politano and Zielinski and the Azzurri put all the energy necessary
to find the decisive starting point, while Torino defends with order and risks in the 32nd and 40th minutes thanks to two conclusions from Osimhen and Kvaraskhelia, rejected by Milinkovic-Savic.
In injury time it was the Georgian who came close to scoring again with a shot that went just over the crossbar.
