Napoli, 1st position with 83 points and a positive goal difference of +45
Napoli continue celebrating the Scudetto by winning the Serie A Week 36 game defeating Inter on Sunday 21 May 2023 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, Italy. Napoli find success against 19 different opponents in the course of a single season for the first time in their history in Serie A (there are currently 18, as in 2015/16 and 2018 /19). Napoli returns to victory after the defeat at Monza and climbs to 86 points in the standings. Inter, on the other hand, suffer defeat after eight consecutive wins in all competitions and now risk being overtaken into third place by Lazio, on the pitch tonight at the Dacia Arena against Udinese. The Nerazzurri are two points ahead of fifth-placed Milan, with as many matches remaining in the championship.
Everything happens at Maradona in the last 23 minutes of the game plus recovery. In the 41st minute, Napoli found themselves in numerical superiority, thanks to the expulsion remedied for a second yellow card by Roberto Gagliardini. In the second half, the hosts immediately looked for the opening goal through Di Lorenzo and Kvaratskhelia, but this only arrived in the 67th minute, when Zielinski made a hole for Anguissa, who turned the goal around for 1-0. Inter found an unexpected draw with Romelu Lukaku, who took advantage of Dimarco’s low cross and pushed the ball into goal to make it 1-1. In the 85th minute, however, Di Lorenzo brought his team forward with a splendid left-footed shot from 20 metres. In full stoppage time, in the 94th minute, there was also room for Gaetano’s first goal in Serie A, who fixed the result at 3-1 on the counterattack.
Napoli took the lead in the 67th minute. André-Frank Zambo Anguissa defeated Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Piotr Zielinski.
