The referee, Kevin Bonacina, sees an offensive foul and stops Scott McTominay from continuing his run after he has beaten an opponent despite the fact that he has gotten possession of the ball. One of Cagliari’s free kicks will be taken close to the halfway line.

The referee calls a foul on Sebastiano Esposito because he pulls the shirt of his opponent, which causes the game to be stopped. Napoli is awarded a free kick, which increases the likelihood that they will be able to score a goal.

An extremely hazardous distance is used to determine who receives a free kick. The distance between it and the outside of the box is only a few meters. Despite the fact that a number of players have gathered around the ball, it appears that Kevin De Bruyne is going to take that crack individually.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo is able to be identified by one of his teammates through the use of an excellent cross; nevertheless, because to his lack of control, the defense is able to clear the ball and counteract the threat. According to both the referee and the linesman, Napoli is going to be given a throw-in.

In an attempt to take possession of the ball from his rival, Sebastiano Esposito commits a reckless foul offense. Kevin Bonacina is able to see it quite well and he immediately blows his whistle. The free kick that Napoli has is from a distance that seems promising.

Gabriele Zappa slides into the feet of his opponent in a casual manner, and he will be fortunate to avoid being punished for his actions. There is a foul committed by Kevin Bonacina, but he chooses to keep his cards in his pocket on this particular occasion. A free kick is awarded to Napoli. The goalkeeper is the recipient of the free kick that Kevin De Bruyne takes as a result of the referee’s decision.

The strike that was delivered by Frank Anguissa was difficult for the defense to block out at the time. After receiving a pass from his teammate, he immediately finished the play from outside the box without any hesitation.

Kevin De Bruyne receives a low pass that is accurate, and he makes a yard for himself on the edge of the box. However, his shot, which is poorly placed, goes well over the bar. As a result of the ball leaving the field of play, Cagliari will be awarded a goal kick.

A deft play results in a cross that is executed with perfection onto the head of Matteo Prati, who is located in the middle of the box. It’s a nice effort, but it never quite lives up to expectations. At this point, the ball has left the field, and Napoli will be awarded a goal kick.

As Leonardo Spinazzola makes his way towards the goal, the defender is able to make a good comeback and present a challenge. There is a throw-in for Napoli, as indicated by the linesman. Kevin De Bruyne makes a swing in the corner, but he is unable to locate any of his colleagues.

Following his incredible solo run, Leonardo Spinazzola takes a shot that appears to be headed in the direction of the bottom left corner of the goal. However, Elia Caprile makes a fantastic stop that prevents the chance from going in. There has been no change in the score. A corner is earned by Napoli.

A single run to the edge of the box by Matteo Politano, followed by a shot that whistles over the bar, is a great example of the incredible skills that he possesses. As a result of the ball leaving the field of play, Cagliari will be awarded a goal kick.

At first glance, it appeared as though Matteo Politano was going to take a quick free kick; however, he is going to instead send the ball inside the penalty box for his teammates. Near the penalty spot, Frank Anguissa, who plays for Napoli, finds himself in a position to receive a magnificent cross from the free kick. He then makes an attempt to score with a header from close to the penalty spot. The accuracy of his attempt is poor, as it misses the right post by a significant margin. As a result of the ball leaving the field of play, Cagliari will be awarded a goal kick.

After receiving a slide-rule pass inside the area, Scott McTominay had just the goalkeeper to beat in order to accomplish his goal. It is easy for Elia Caprile to make the save because his shot, which was low and headed toward the middle of the goal, lacked force.

However, Alessandro Buongiorno spots his teammate and tosses the ball to him so that he may take advantage of his favorable shooting position. In order to make the score 1:0, Frank Anguissa takes the ball in a beautiful manner and then defeats the goalie with a shot that is accurate and goes into the bottom right corner.
