The hosts before the reporting match managed to win three wins in a row and continued the fight for a direct hit in the group stage of the Champions League, and also retained the theoretical chances of winning the Scudetto after three consecutive misfires of Juventus. So the mood of the southerners before the penultimate round of Serie A was prohibitive. Fiorentina, in turn, continued to struggle for getting into the Europa League, having before this round just one point behind Milan, which has completely stalled lately. It turns out that both teams had a huge motivation to win three points after the match.

The hosts came to the field of the San Paolo stadium in its optimal composition - the superbard player of the season, as usual, Dries Mertens, and not the Pole Milik, was helping him in the attack, the excellent tandem Kalehon-Insinje, the other lines also came out the strongest. At the Vialos on the left flank Cristoforo (who usually plays in center field) and Oliver unexpectedly came out, also note the appearance in the start of Milan Badel, whose participation was in question due to damage. Ex-Dniproin Nikola Kalinich habitually appeared on the point of attack of Florentines.

The first half Napoli began very quickly, letting everyone know that the team is set for an early goal, which, in fact, happened. At the 8th minute Gulam well served a corner on the head of Hamshik - Marek struck, but Tetarushanu in a beautiful jump was able to repel the strike of the Slovak, but ... the ball flew to Coulibaly - Kalida had no right to miss. The hosts did not stop their pressure, periodically creating dangerous moments. Mertens first got into the net of the gate from the outside, before passing to Teterushanu, and later the ball after hitting the Belgian hit the bar.

The second goal of Napoli was followed by trimming from Fiorentina in his half of the field - Mertens led Insigne to a meeting with Tetarushanu, the Italian striker confidently outplayed the Romanian.

Note that the Violets for the entire first half dealed only one dangerous blow.

Napoli - Fiorentina 4: 1.
