⚡️ POLITANO RESPONDS TO VANO

After half an hour of clear territorial dominance by Napoli, the hosts surprised: at 33 minutes, on a corner kick taken by Pezzella, Vano rose freely and beat Meret at the first post, putting Casertana ahead.

Napoli's response didn't take long and came soon after, with a magical play by Matteo Politano. The azzurro winger gave a devastating zigzag dribble, left three opponents behind and finished with his left foot, beating the goalkeeper and tying the game with a great goal.

🔙 OVATION FOR MCTOMINAY

In the second half, despite the offensive posture 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: Scott McTominay's return to the pitch.

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