& Scaron; this evening the last match of the 26th Italian Championship round was played, both in front of the TV screens and at the "San Paolo" stadium.
Here the local "Napoli", fighting for the gold of the championship, met the hope of reaching the UEFA Champions League, the "Milan" club.
As expected, a stubborn battle erupted from the very beginning of the match, but predicting the dominance of the hosts in the middle of the field was more difficult.
The Napoli players controlled the ball significantly longer and constantly sought ways to the opponents' goal. They succeeded in doing so in the 39th minute, when Gianluigi Donarumma was defeated with the help of even two rebounds. The author of this strike was Lorenzo Insigne.
After breaking through the "Milan" defense, it seemed that things would get easier for the hosts, but shortly after, at the end of the first half, Giacomo Bonaventura equalized after a pass from Keisuke Honda.
In the second half, finishing opportunities remained equally difficult for the "Napoli" team, and the "Milan" fought back by making only four shots on goal.
Maurizio Sarri's pupils did not allow them to regain the leaders' position from Turin's "Juventus", and the "rossoneri" failed to approach Milan's "Inter".
Result:
"Napoli" 1 - 1 "Milan" [1-0] 39' Lorenzo Insigne [1-1] 44' Giacomo Bonaventura
