Inter failing to win this home game against Napoli. However, despite a struggling draw, it is a ray of hope for the fans to see Inter battling until the end without giving up and scoring the equalizer goal in the 91st minute with midfielder Hernanes. Curious detail, there were only 2 Italian players in the initial starting lineup defender Andrea Ranocchia and Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne. A game definitely with International players.
Inter suffering two big defeats against Cagliari and Fiorentina leading to a deep crisis. It’s an emotional game for the ex Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri now with Inter and the ex Inter coach Rafael Benitez now with Napoli. As a matter of fact, Mazzarri sent off by Referee Damato in the 83rd minute for leaving the technical area .. protesting…
Napoli opening the score in the 79th minute with forward Jose Maria Callejon defeating Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic with a right footed shot in the center. The Meazza Stadium in disbelief!
Inter equalizing for a 1-1 in the 82nd minute with midfielder Fredy Guarin following a corner conceded by Napoli forward Jose Maria Callejon. The assist is by forward Mauro Icardi for Guarin delivering a right footed shot from close range defeating Napoli goalkeeper Rafale ….. and there you go the ball all the way to the bottom right corner.
Inter making a final substitution in the 89th minute to add fresh energy. Midfielder Yann M’Vila replacing forward Rodrigo Palacio.
Cold water! In the 90th minute it is Napoli to increase the score again with Jose Maria Callejon defeating this time Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by David Lopez.
Hey, hey, hey, what a quick reaction! Just a minute after the goal by Callejon, bam! Inter scoring in the 91st minute with midfielder Hernanes to equalize for the 2-2 with a headed goal defeating Napoli goalkeeper in the bottom right corner.
