Serie A: Bologna in seventh heaven with Napoli

It was a match which Napoli had started in pace for early minutes, but Bologna were more concrete and step by step showed improvements and even put away side in some troubles.

Napoli suffered lack of key-players Koulibaly and Allan due to ban, and so did not perform at high level, above all in first half when they were losing 2-0. Ancelotti made some substantial changes on pitch by inserting Callejòn and Mertens instead of uniseful Verdi and poor Insigne and match became different. As for home side, the starring was Santander who was even able in the final after a good Napoli's comeback 2-2, to head into the net the deciding goal.

It is confirmed as an exciting fixture, as the last 11 Serie A meetings between these teams provided 50 goals, including a massive 7-1 Napoli win at the Dall’Ara in February 2017.
