Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 7th position with 43 points and a positive goal difference of +11
Torino, 10th position with 37 points and a goal difference of “0”
Napoli and Torino ended the Serie A Week 28 game with a draw on Friday 8 March 2024 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. The main protagonists are above all the goalkeepers. On the one hand, Milinkovic-Savic, author of two crazy interventions, both on Kvara served perfectly by Politano, on the other hand Meret, good at saying no in a reactive manner on a missile from Zapata. Lots of emotions, several clashes, but 45 minutes ended with no goals. Torino is the team that has drawn the most games with a score of 0-0 this season in the top five European leagues (six). In general, only Udinese (15) have recorded more draws than the Granata (10) in the 2023/24 Serie A.
Napoli opened the score in the 61st minute. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia defeated Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Mário Rui.
