Napoli and Cagliari have started mulling a swap of deputy goalkeepers, with Elia Caprile moving to Sardinia and Simone Scuffet joining the Azzurri to deputize Alex Meret.
Napoli goalkeeper Elia Caprile admits the Partenopei would have protested like Juventus, appealing for an indirect free kick from inside the box, but insists Mathías Olivera’s back-pass was not intentional.
Referee Daniele Doveri frustrated Juventus and Thiago Motta, who appealed for an indirect free kick inside the box when Elia Caprile picked the ball from Mathias Olivera in the second half.
After being punished by Walid Cheddira in the last round, Napoli will face another talented loanee next week, Elia Caprile, who’s having a solid season at Empoli.
Elia Caprile was the hero for Empoli, saving a Nicolas Viola penalty, fouled to disallow a goal and making a last-gasp parry on Andrea Petagna to deny Cagliari.
