When everything seemed to point towards a draw, Napoli managed to win against Sampdoria in full stoppage time with a goal in the 95th minute from defender Tonelli, which is worth three points and provisional second place in the standings with Roma.
Napoli had the merit of believing in it right up to the end but Sampdoria have reason to complain, above all for the questionable expulsion of Silvestre in the 61st minute for a controversial foul which left them down to ten players in the agitated final part of the match.
Sampdoria had taken the lead in the 30th minute of the first half on an own goal by Hysai and in the second half they contained Napoli's counter-offensive for a long time, but in the end they made their class count by equalizing with Gabbiadini in the 77th minute and scoring in full recovery the winning goal with the returning Tonelli
