The 30-year-old explains why the Partenopei suffered their first defeat of the season at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona
Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has revealed why the Serie A leaders lost 3-2 against Spartak Moscow in a Europa League fixture on Thursday.
It was the Partenopei who took the lead with only a minute played when Eljif Elmas scored from close range, but a red card to Mario Rui changed the game in favour of the visitors, who scored through Quincy Promes in 55th while Mikhail Ignatov made it 2-1 in the 80th minute.
Maximiliano Caufriez then made it 3-1 in the 82nd minute and despite red-hot Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen pulling a goal back on the stroke of full-time, it was not enough to help Napoli get something from the game as they lost 3-2 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
