Chievo's dismal start of the 2011- 2012 season took an abrupt halt with a vital win over high-flying Napoli. Chievo's first two matches had ended disappointingly with late goals by both Novara and Parma. Instead of having 4 points, Chievo had gotten only one. But happily that would change on Wednesday night as Chievo held out the whole match for a 1-0 win over previously undefeated Napoli.
Substitute Davide Moscardelli scored the only goal of the game as Chievo grabbed their first win of the new Serie A season and shattered the 100 per cent record of visitors Napoli.
Moscardelli, on as a 59th-minute replacement for Cyril Thereau, fired home from close range in the 72nd minute after Ignacio Fideleff had booted an attempted clearance into his path. Moscardelli could have made it 2-0 10 minutes from time when he hit a left-foot shot which was well saved by the busy De Sanctis.
Napoli got their first shot on goal after 88 minutes as their high-powered offense was shut down completely by Chievo's defense.
Chievo's next match is at home on Sunday with an early start against another high-flying side ( Genoa ).
FORZA CHIEVO!
