A defender scores to keep Napoli ‘above the water’! Salernitana barely beaten at the Maradona

Nothing is left of the euphoria caused by winning the title last year. In the previous period, Napoli were going through one of the biggest scoring crises in recent history, and today the desperate period of the team from Naples could metastasize. Everything led to another disappointment at the Diego Maradona stadium, and another setback for Napoli against Salernitana. However, defender Rrahmani saved the lives of his teammates and coach Walter Mazzarri with a quick reaction in the seventh minute of stoppage time – 2-1.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Instead of anger, the stadium of Diego Maradona boiled over with happiness. Perhaps it is an announcement that Napoli are ready to finally make it to the top of the table and, if nothing else, enter the Champions League qualifying pack. It was seen that Mazzarri’s team was playing under a tremendous load, after four matches without a win. And that there are big problems in the implementation due to the absence of Victor Osimhen. However, Napoli somehow managed to get away, even though they missed numerous chances in the second half. Especially Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.Salernitana were more competitive in the first half, the guests managed to take the lead after a great shot by the experienced Candreva.Napoli managed to sit on the green branch before the end of the first half. The stopper of the team from Salerno Fazio made a cardinal mistake and tackled Simeone inside Salerniatana’s box. Politano was secure from the penalty spot.Few doubted at the Maradona that Napoli would turn the results around. The host had the initiative, they were constantly dangerous in front of the Salernitana goal. But Kvaratskhelia seemed to get off on the wrong foot. The Georgia international missed several chances. The last one in the 88th minute when his shot from five meters was saved by Guillermo Ochoa. Napoli fans were holding their heads, not suspecting that in the final seconds, Rrahmani would be composed and keep all three points in Naples.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 20Saturday Genoa – Torino 0-0Napoli – Salernitana 2-1 (1-1)/Politano 45+4 pen, Rrahmani 90+6 – Candreva 29/20.00: (2.20) Verona (3.45) Empoli (3.60)22.45: (6.75) Monza (4.20) Inter (1.57)Sunday14.30: (1.67) Lazio (3.50) Lecce (5.80)17.00: (3.05) Cagliari (3.10) Bologna (2.50)20.00: (1.70) Fiorentina (3.80) Udinese (5.80)22.45: (2.15) Milan (3.30) Roma (3.50)Monday 22.45: (1.40) Atalanta (4.70) Frosinone (8.00)Tuesday22.45: (1.45) Juventus (4.70) Sassuolo (8.00)***odds are subject to change***
