A super victory for Atalanta to the joy of the fans at the Atleti Azzurri D’Italia Stadium. Atalanta humiliating Napoli with one of their ex players. It is Argentinian forward German Denis to punish Napoli with 2 goals!!!! Problem for Napoli (44) now risking to lose the third position if they lose against AC Milan. Fiorentina (41) can take over the third position if they defeat Atalanta, precisely, next week.
Napoli full of mistakes which facilitated Atalanta to score. German Denis opening the score in the 47th minute with assist by Maximiliano Moralez. Denis defeat Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina with a right footed shot in the center! Total joy for Denis running to celebrate and the fans going wild while sad faces from Napoli.
Second punishment in the 64th minute and Napoli succumbing! The power of Denis is at full speed scoring with a right footed shot all the way to the bottom left corner. Nothing to do for Reina, but just remaining with a sign of frustration. It’s the 9th goal this season for Denis.
The final dagger hurting Napoli in the 70th minute. This time it is Denis to provide the assist to Maximiliano Moralez with a headed pass. Napoli goalkeeper Reina defeated by Moralez with a right footed shot in the top left corner.
