The news of Naples-Bologna
Napoli beats Bologna 1-0. After 6 minutes the Emilians found the goal with a header from Theate: the referee validated it, but then on a report from the VAR he annulled the goal due to an offside position. The score remains at 0-0. Allegri's team tries to make itself dangerous, with the opponents defending in a compact manner: the first half ends without a goal. Napoli's lead comes in the 66th minute: Favasuli puts it in the middle for Lobotka, who anticipates Libra and deflects it into the net. In the final, the hosts wasted opportunities to double the lead, while Bologna came close to equalizing through Mbangula. Despite some thrills, it ends 1-0 for Napoli: for the Azzurri, who interrupt the streak of three consecutive defeats, it is the first victory of the season at Maradona.
