O Naples consolidates the solitary first place in the standings of group A of the Champions League thanks to the sumptuous victory at homeajax. The 1-6 result cut by Spalletti’s team to the Dutch was nothing short of spectacular. The Azzurri first lost by one goal and then reacted like a great team, knocking the result down with goals from Raspadori, DiLorenzo and Zielinski in the first half and then spread in the second half thanks to goals from Scraper, Kvara and Simeone.
Napoli were really spectacular and with this current score they became the first Italian team capable of scoring more than 10 goals in the first three games of the Champions League group stage. But that’s not all, it’s the first time in its history that the Azzurri have scored 6 away goals in a Champions League match. Before tonight, in the entire history of the Champions League, only Borussia Dortmund in 2012 and Real Madrid managed to score at least 4 goals at Ajax. Napoli is currently the first with 9 points from three games, followed by Liverpool with 6, Ajax with 3 AND Rangers with 0.
Napoli has a spectacular first half: he scores three in a short time
“Devastating” is the perfect term to define the first half of this Napoli. Spalletti’s team had already closed the first 45 minutes with the advantage of 3-1 showing once again its extraordinary moment of form. But despite that, it was ajax score first with a goal from kudus. The double frees Bergwijn on the left of the area, his cross in the middle, low, is withdrawn, but just a little and Taylor runs on the ball and shoots finding the deflection near the goal of Kudus that puts it in the net.
All regulars and the Dutch ahead. But Napoli doesn’t give up and after having already come close to the advantage with scraper, finds the goal with the same ex-striker of Sassuolo. From the left Olivera releases the cross after a triangulation, Lozano cuts in half and on the far beam, on the other hand, Raspadori breaks free that with a header dive marks the tie.
At that moment, the Azzurri became masters of the field and played the lead several times, mainly with Kvara. And so it is precisely in the unfolding of a corner that the Georgian’s ball finds the perfect central detachment of by Lorenzo who puts the ball in the bag for the 1-2 of the Neapolitans. Spalletti’s team is not satisfied and plays the trio with Zielinski blocked by Pasveer’s parade in the area. It’s just the prelude to the Pole’s goal that arrives soon after with a perfect action built on the Anguissa-Raspadori axis, good at releasing the blue ace in the space that alone in front of the door puts the ball in the goal for the 3-1 that closes the first fraction.
Napoli spreads out in the second half and makes history
Recovery begins with the replacement of Zielinski with Ndombele, but the plot of Napoli’s game does not change. Pasveer’s wrong postponement at the start of the second half becomes an involuntary assist for Anguissa, good at catching the ball and serving again scraper in the area that scored the goal from 1 to 4. Napoli is a spectacle, they play from memory and with an impressive harmony. anguissa he is the leader of midfield: he sweeps all fronts and moves his opponents like pins. And his leadership on the field can be seen in every action of this Napoli, who doesn’t want to stop. Meanwhile too kvara get on the chair.
After receiving the ball in the 63rd minute in the center left, he takes aim, exchanges the one-two with Raspadori and is released only in the area: the Georgian kicks with the right plate, bagging the ball on the far post. At this point, at 5-1, the game looked over and instead, first Anguissa and then Rrahmani flying in the middle of the area, almost the sixth goal. For Ajax so it rains in the wet for Tadic’s expulsion after a foul on Elmas.
Napoli have practically smoothed out their path and get the big advantage, but despite everything they also find the 6-1 goal with Simeone good at slipping between Ajax’s two central defenders on a Ndombele assist to score the goal that humiliates the Dutch. Napoli closes the game with a victory that consolidates the lead in the standings. Napoli, with this victory, becomes the first team in European Cup history to score six goals for Ajax. The Dutch suffered the heaviest defeat in all competitions November 1964 (9-4 against Feyenoord in the Eredivisie).
