informatore.unionesarda.it/cronaca-live/calcio/Napoli-Cagliari/456036Cagliari held up well until the 42nd minute, but then at half time Napoli were ahead 1-0: McTominay's wonder goal at the end of the first half. At Sinigaglia Inter were ahead 0-1 and Como were down to ten men after Reina was sent off, but with this result it would be the Neapolitans who would be champions: fireworks all over the city .
Napoli had the first chance, with a short corner cleared in the area in the 5th minute, where Raspadori pounced, his left-footed shot going just wide. In the 10th minute, after a corner for the rossoblù, Spinazzola sent Gilmour through on goal and Sherri closed the goal, with Politano sending the rebound high with his left foot. Then it was Di Lorenzo's turn, freed on the right for a cross for Lukaku, which Sherri blocked. In the 15th minute, Rrahmani collected the ball in the area, a sure-fire right-footed shot and a miracle from Sherri who denied the 1-0 .
In the 21st minute the news comes from Como, where Inter takes the lead with de Vrij's header on a corner. Napoli's reaction comes in the 25th minute, with a through ball into the area for Lukaku and a left-footed shot blocked for a corner by Mina. For three minutes, from the 32nd to the 35th minute, the game is stopped for a VAR check (potential red card) after an argument between the two teams following a foul by Cagliari (with yellow cards for Makoumbou and Politano for mutual misconduct).
Great opportunity for the Neapolitans in the 39th minute: cross from the right, Sherri poorly parries Spinazzola's shot and Zappa blocks the subsequent attempt, again from Napoli's number 37. It's the appetizer of the goal, beautiful, by McTominay in the 42nd minute with a half-overhead kick on a cross from the right by Politano . The break is after four minutes of added time, which becomes five due to an argument between Rrahmani and Piccoli.
