An own goal by goalkeeper Montipo’ and a great goal by André-Frank Zambo Anguissa give the Azzurri victory and the lead the Serie A
Under the intense cold of the Diego Armando Maradona in Naples, SSC Napoli and Hellas Verona FC took on each other on the sunday night of Serie A.
A chilling game, in every sense of the word both for the great cold that envelops Naples these days both for the intense pre-game, when the son of President Aurelio De Laurentiis, Edoardo, gave a heartfelt hug to the family of little Azzurro fan Daniele, who passed away after battling an incurable disease. It was to Daniele that André-Frank Zambo Anguissa dedicated the second goal of the match, remembering the memory of the little Napoli fan in a very touching moment.
The match ended on the score of 2-0 for the hosts Napoli: an own goal by goalkeeper Montipo’ in the first half and a great goal by André-Frank Zambo Anguissa in the second half give the Azzurri victory and the lead the Serie A. Coach Antonio Conte‘s Napoli, which has not let itself be distracted at all by market rumors regarding one of its best players, Georgian Khvicha K’varatskhelia as next to leave the team by early February, continues unabated on its march to the top of the Serie A.
