Roma 4-3 Napoli

Serie A's top two teams clashed today in a preview of what might be this year's final. Roma drew first blood when a lively Alex dF timed his run beautifully to slam in a cross from Marco. AledF played well today both in defence and in attack. Napoli equalised before half time through another of the day's best players - Alessio. He made innumerable incisive runs down the left flank and crossed a lot of dangerous balls which might easily have been converted into goals.
Roma came out for the second half refreshed and took the lead again when Giovanni popped up to volley home another Marco cross. Either Marco or Alex dF could have put the game beyond doubt a while later; Alex's well-struck shot back off the post to the feet of Marco but Marco shot wide.
But Roma did get third goal a while later and again it was Ale dF who finished off yet another Marco cross. Marco himself made it 4-1 when he finished a mazy run with an accurate shot and Napoli looked dead and buried..... but then Arthur pounced onto a shot from Alessio and turned it past Giacomo to score his first goal of the season.
A comeback was still possible and even more so a minute later when Sebastiano turned on a Mattia pass and surprised Giacomo again.
But, in the end, Napoli ran out of time and Rome held onto a sweet victory.
