The Neapolitan team lost points for the second time in the last four meetings and gives a chance to the competitors. Napoli has 22 points, and if Roma with Artem Dovbyk beat Milan on Sunday, the Romans will become leaders with 24 points. Como continues to surprise – 17 points and fifth place.

For Napoli, the match started with positive news: Stanislav Lobotka returned to the bench, and Amir Rahmani started in the starting line-up for the first time in two months. Rasmus Hoylund and Scott McTominay also returned to the lineup. However, Romelu Lukaku, Alex Meret and Kevin De Bruyne were ruled out.

The match got off to a lively start: Maxens Kakeret’s free-kick was right into the hands of Vani Milinkovic-Savic, and Alvaro Morata earned a penalty, but the Serbian goalkeeper parried the shot. In the last ten Serie A penalties, Milinković-Savic has saved six – and now this one.

Napoli suffered problems with Billy Gilmour leaving the field with a muscle problem and Leonardo Spinazzola injured at half-time. Eljif Elmas and Miguel Gutierrez came on as substitutes, both trying to tighten up the game, but to no avail.

Como also created several dangerous chances, with Rahmani deflecting Morata’s header from eight yards, while Hoylund failed to capitalize on Politano’s pass and the ball went straight into the keeper’s hands.

The match finished goalless and Napoli held on for a point thanks to some brilliant play from Milinkovic-Savic and solid defending.
