Napoli  claiming a victory at the San Paolo Stadium keeping the race for the Scudetto alive.  Napoli reaching 38 points just 1 point below Inter with 39 points holding the first position.  Something unthinkable happening in the second half.  Referee Di Bello sent off both coaches!!! Yep, Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri and Torino Coach Giampiero Ventura were sent off for protesting.

Napoli opening the score in the 16th minute.  It is forward Lorenzo Insigne to defeat Torino goalkeeper with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner.  The assist is by forward José Maria Callejón.

Torino equalizing the score following a penalty conceded by Napoli defender Faouzi Ghoulam after a foul on Torino midfielder Bruno Peres.   Taking the penalty spot is the ex Napoli player forward Fabio Quagliarella.   An emotional moment for Quagliarella as he does not celebrate the goal after converting the penalty with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.

Napoli taking the lead again in the 42nd minute with midfielder Marek Hamsik.
