In the first half of the game, Mertens, Elmas and Herrrein Lozano missed a good chance to score goals. In the second half, Empoli's counter-attack was more and more threatening, and in the 70th minute, they finally scored. Kooterone used his personal abilities to help Emporium score first. After scoring the goal, Empoli will fully shrink the defense and not give Napoli any chances. In the end they gave Napoli a blast.
Inter compete for the title or only 2 opponents left?
With Napoli losing consecutively, it can be said that they are getting closer and closer to exiting the title race. The main reason is that their injury impact is too serious, and this situation cannot be reversed all at once. For Inter, as they reached the top of Serie A, their champions became AC Milan and Atalanta behind them.
At present, the three giants are only 3 points apart, especially Atalanta, whose recent momentum has been very strong. Inter is slightly inconceived and could be pulled down from the first place at any time. Atalanta's offensive firepower ranks second in Serie A, behind Inter, and if they improve their defense, the team is still very capable of fighting for the title.
