Continuation of the 16th day of Serie A. On the pitch at the Friuli Stadium, Udinese hosted Antonio Conte’s Napoli. And the match quickly turned in favor of the locals. After a first unsuccessful attempt at the start of the match (13th), Florian Thauvin had the opportunity to redeem himself a few minutes later. Following a handball from Stanislav Lobotka, Thauvin took the penalty, but missed his first chance. The former Marseillais, who after his missed shot, finally returned the ball into the Neapolitan nets (22nd, 1-0). The Frenchman thus scored his fourth goal in the championship.
Upon returning from the locker room, however, Naples took control of the match. Romelu Lukaku (50th, 1-1) first equalized before Lautaro Giannetti scored an own goal (77th, 1-2). After a great action, Frank Zambo Anguissa finally added to the score (81st, 1-3). Thanks to this success, the Neapolitan team retains its second place in the Serie A standings with 35 points, just two points behind leader Atalanta. For its part, Udinese is in 9th place.
