Naples, Cremonese equalized in the 87th minute and forced the Azzurri into extra time

A Napoli revolutionized by nine/elevenths compared to last Friday’s victorious match against Juventus is struggling a lot in their debut in the Italian Cup in front of their own public in the presence of a brave Cremonese. The Lombards, on their first outing with new coach Ballardini, forced the Azzurri into extra time after managing to equalize through Felix Afena-Gyan in the 87th minute. Spalletti’s team, which had already been forced to chase after in the score the away lead set by Pickel in the 18th minutewas successful with the one/two signed by Juan Jesus and Simeone between 33′ and 36′ to carry on and somehow manage the advantage. Until 3′ from the end of the match, when the former Roma player Felix forced them into extra time. Up for grabs is the passage to the quarterfinals where Roma awaits.
