Il Naples scores eight consecutive championship wins: Empoli an own goal and a goal by osimhen the three points are worth it, leading to a new (at least temporary) lead in the standings over the pursuers. Here are the report cards.
Empoli Napoli report cards: Mario Rui, colossal naivety (4,5)
Meret: 6,5. Empoli only had 2 shots on goal, he was ready in both cases.
Quiet race.
By Lorenzo: 6,5. He works hard in the defensive phase with good results. A little imprecise in the construction phase.
Rahmani: 7. A crucial save on Piccoli at the start of the second half, he is never found out of position.
Kim: 7. He wins all the tackles and aerial duels, for a change.
He almost scored again, but the crossbar stifled the cry of joy in his throat.
Mario Rui: 4,5. Avoidable expulsion and absolutely condemnable gesture. It's a shame because the match, up until the red card, was excellent, with many successful passes and throws in the build-up phase.
But with that reaction foul he risks reopening a largely closed match.
Anguissa: 6,5. He loses many tackles (10 out of 12) and therefore is not the author of a brilliant match, but he grows in the second half even coming close to scoring (from the 92nd minute Ndombele: sv).
Lobotka enchants (8), Zielinski key man (7,5)
Lobotka: 8. Sensational in defensive work, tackling, and obviously in ball management. The heart of this magnificent team.
Zielinski: 7,5. He closes with 4 key passes and many goal-scoring situations created, starting with Ismajli's own goal that opens the game (from 92' Gaetano: yes).
Osimhen (8) and Kvara (7,5) do not disappoint
Lozano: 6,5. His physical condition is good but this time he lacks the right, decisive play, as he did well in Frankfurt (from the 70th minute Oliver: 6).
osimhen: 8. Eighth consecutive game scored.
And without penalties taken. Only two in history have done better than him in this way: Pascutti and Trezeguet.
What to add? (from 84' Simeon: sv).
Kvaratskhelia: 7,5. Splendid soft cross for Zielinski who then opens the accounts, dangerous conclusion from outside that forces Vicario to parry at Osimhen's feet. Constant danger (from 71' Elmas: 6,5).
In short
Napoli secured their eighth consecutive league victory: an own goal and a goal from Osimhen earned them the three points in Empoli, giving them a further (temporary, at least) lead…
