Napoli dominated, it is a spectacular Naples. But the real news is that, after 45 minutes, Napoli is 1-1. At the double whistle, it is Gollini, the crossbar and a mistake by Meret to keep a match in play.Atalanta for large stretches unrecognizable at the San Paolo, in the third advance of the tenth day of Serie A.

Carlo Ancelotti's team was arrembante, taking the field with the attacking pair Lozano-Milik and with Insigne and Callejon to act more as attackers than from midfield outsiders. Despite a rather balanced data on the possession of the ball, the hosts in the first portion have attacked more and better. After a few seconds Milik immediately engaged Gollini, Callejon after 12 minutes called him to a prodigious intervention. While Maksimovic, shortly after the quarter of an hour, he beat him with a header from a close position unreachable for anyone.

Ancelotti's team was called to respond after the last gray performances. And so far he has done it, even touching the doubling on several occasions. The double opportunity devoured at the 22nd by Milik was sensational, who, after a shot by Lozano rejected by Gollini, first hit the crossbar with a header and, subsequently, failed to send the ball into the goal from 20 centimeters.
At the Polish bomber the blow remained in the barrel. Exactly like the first half at Atalanta which, however, had the great merit of returning to the locker room on the result of a tie. Less than five minutes from the 45th, Freuler with a shot without major claims he beat a guilty Meret and brought the match back into balance. Bad news for Napoli who in the first half also had to deal with Allan's injury: the Brazilian was forced to leave the pitch after 11 minutes for a knee injury.
