⚡️ POLITANO RESPONDS TO VANO

After half an hour of clear territorial dominance by Napoli, the home team surprised: at the 33rd minute, from a corner taken by Pezzella, Vano rose freely and beat Meret at the near post, putting Casertana ahead.

Napoli's response didn't take long and came shortly after, with a magical play by Matteo Politano. The azzurri winger performed a devastating zigzag dribble, leaving three opponents behind and finishing with his left foot, beating the goalkeeper and equalizing with a stunning goal.

🔙 OVATION FOR MCTOMINAY

In the second half, despite the offensive stance and several chances created, Napoli couldn't break through Casertana's defensive block, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. A result that doesn't worry Antonio Conte, who still has reasons to smile: the return of Scott McTominay to the field.

The Scottish midfielder, voted the best in the last Serie A, entered in the final 30 minutes to applause from the fans, leaving behind the physical issues that kept him out of the first friendlies.
