This Sunday the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium has remained completely silent after Salernitana tied the game at minute 84, something that prevented the celebration of the Scudetto when the champagne was about to be served.
Thus, the Mexican attacker Hirving ‘Chucky’ Lozano will have to wait for a victory that allows him to win the Scudetto. On the other side, goalkeeper Memo Ochoa looked almost flawless and actively contributed to Napoli not taking advantage.
The Uruguayan Mathías Olivera was in charge of breaking the score. He did it in minute 62 ′ after heading a ball that started from a corner kick.
This was the bitter game of Napoli
Although Nápoli entered the game with a 17-point advantage over their closest rivals, Lazio, the outlook was not easy given that on the other side was the Salernitana of the Mexican goalkeeper, Memo Ochoa, who had gone eight games without defeat.
In fact, the first half was 0-0, so the Italian coach Luciado Spatelli was forced to make changes to the lead at the beginning of the second half. It was in the 60th minute when he brought on Elif Elmas, for Lozano. In addition, Giacomo Raspadori entered for Piotr Zielinski.
Until that point, Memo Ochoa had rejected the blue attempts, stopping up to 3 shots on goal. But the 68th minute arrived and with it, the goal of the match by the Uruguayan Mathías Olivera. But the visitors did not corner themselves and instead sought an equalizer, something that came in the 84th minute thanks to the Franco-Senegalese Boulaye Dia.
