April 22, 2021 Many goals and clear success for Napoli in the postponement that closed the thirty-second day (midweek).

At the 'Maradona' Lazio are defeated 5-2.

The Neapolitans remain two points from the Champions zone, while the Biancocelesti are now at -7 (but with a game to recover). 



Mertens is the reference forward in front of the Politano-Zielinski-Insigne trocar in Gattuso's 4-2-3-1. Inzaghi's usual 3-5-2 (Farris sits on the bench due to the notorious unavailability of the coach) with Correa and Immobile in front, Lazzari and Fares on the lanes. Start in the gun cotton for the Neapolitans, with a double advantage after less than a quarter of an hour. At 7 'Insigne transforms the penalty decided after the referee Di Bello reviewed the intervention of Milinkovic-Savic on Manolas at the Var. At 12 'Politano jumps Fares and stabs Reina on his pole. A powerful one-two to which Lazio tries to respond. Correa can kick from ten meters but hits the post (19 '). The Biancocelesti push harder, Immobile becomes the pivot of interesting initiatives. Napoli manages to contain without taking further risks.



The beginning of the shooting marks the epilogue of the race in two scenes. Radu verticalizes in the area for the Milinkovic-Savic cut which is closed by the Ospina exit; on the reversal in front (53 ') Insigne gains some space to the limit and draws a lob that leaves Reina salt. What for Lazio is a K2, becomes an Everest to climb in the 65th minute, when Mertens kicks Zielinski's low cross from the edge and sends the ball under the crossbar. Despite everything, the Biancocelesti show pride and Immobile (70 ') is cold and precise when Pereira (who has recently taken over from Luis Alberto) throws him towards the area in the midst of a casual defense. The situation becomes interesting in the 74th minute: free kick from the edge, Milinkovic-Savic removes the proverbial web from 'seven'with a superb trajectory. Osimhen (who took over from Mertens I put before the second goal away) closes the gap. The Nigerian in the 80th minute receives the ball lost in the Lazio exit from Lozano (another substitute), takes a few steps into the area and burns Reina on his post. Akpa-Akpro could increase the overall score, but sends high the excellent side of Muriqi (just entered in place of Immobile). Good chance also for Muriqi himself, he too kicks to the stars.excellent bank of Muriqi (just entered the place of Immobile).
