Romewho next Thursday will face Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League, rescued a draw at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium against Naples. The meeting ended equaled in two and Paulo Dybala he scored one of La Loba’s goals.
In a duel between two teams that are fighting to enter the European cups next season, the final result served the visitors more.
Napoli played a great game against Roma. He attacked, controlled with possession and had clear chances. He was superior in general terms, but left again without winning. Two defensive errors (a penalty and a mistake in a mark) deprived him of the reward.
And there is always the Rome of Daniele De Rossi. Always attentive to failure, taking advantage of every opportunity to profit even if it is not always the best version of it.
Juan Jesús committed a penalty against Sardar Azmoun and Dybala converted it for a goal in the 59th minute, but the tie was not long in coming.
It was around game time and it seemed that the goal could seal the duel. This is how De Rossi saw it, who quickly introduced changes. But Naples was not about to give up. He continued with his good play and the reward came on the strangest occasion, with a shot from Uruguayan Matías Olivera that hit a Roma player and went in thanks to the bounce of the rebound over goalkeeper Mile Svilar.
Napoli revived and charged. ‘Kvara’ and Victor Osimhen led the attacks, but Svilar was superb. Nothing could stop the Serbian goalkeeper until the Portuguese Renato Sanches committed a penalty on the Georgian winger. Osimhen transformed it and the place came to the fore.
When everything seemed to indicate that they would keep the three points, Tammy Abraham appeared in the 88th minute (she had not scored for a year) and declared the final tie.
Roma remains in fifth place, just 2 points above Atalanta, and Napoli is eighth, five points behind Lazio.
