Rafa Marin made his first Serie A start after just two cameo appearances in this tournament this season, since the Partenopei missed David Neres, Alessandro Buongiorno, and Juan Jesus. Leonardo Spinazzola was promoted to a more senior role, while Billy Gilmour was chosen over Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa. The hosts were already almost out of the game after injuries to Matteo Pessina, Armando Izzo, Keita Balde Diao, Kevin Zeroli, and Danilo D'Ambrosio.
McTominay broke the impasse for the sixth time this season by catching Turati off his line and shrugging off Caldirola for a free header on Raspadori's cross from the left. The former midfielder for Manchester United is still improving, having scored nine league goals, including ten in the Coppa Italia. Napoli defeated Monza 1-0 on the road for the first time since January 18 despite a deflected Raspadori attempt looping up and maybe startling Turati beneath the bar.
