Way to go !!!!!!!! I am just jumping ….. Napoli scoring to take the lead just before ending the first half in the 45th minute. A crazy action just like playing a volley ball game starting with the headed shot by forward Dries Mertens and being blocked. The ball still in the area and there you go “the man of the moment, ” Arkadiusz Milik for the final headed shot defeating from close range goalkeeper in the bottom left corner. Forza Napoli!!!!!
