“Napoli” and “Cremonese” competed in the 1/8 finals of the Italian Cup. It is worth noting that in a dramatic match, the players of “Cremonese” earned a ticket to the next round.
The brothers opened the match’s score: Charles Pickel scored a goal in the 18th minute. The players of “Napoli” equalized the game’s score in the first half and took the lead. Juan Jesus and Giovanni Simeone scored the goals in the 33rd and 36th minutes. Felix Afena-Gyan equalized the score of the match in the 87th minute.
The sides did not score a goal in the extra halves, and the nerves of the “Cremonese” players were more vital in the penalty shootout (5:4). Thus, “Napoli” was excluded from the competition for the Italian Cup.
