Napoli and Lazio shared the points in a crucial Serie A Week 11 clash, settling for a 1-1 draw at the “Diego Armando Maradona” Stadium. The result suits the capital side more, as they maintain top spot in the standings.
The first half was a hard-fought affair with few clear chances. Napoli tried to threaten through Noa Lang, but Lazio struck at the right moment. In the 28th minute, Noslin played a superb through ball to Davide Frattesi, who won the duel with the home defence and beat goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic, putting the Biancocelesti ahead.
After the break, Napoli returned with more aggression and found the equaliser in the 48th minute. A cross from Lang created chaos in the Lazio area, and Pedraza, trying to clear the ball, sent it into his own net.
The side coached by Allegri pushed relentlessly for a turnaround, but the biggest chance came in the 59th minute. Kevin De Bruyne was one-on-one with Mandas but incredibly wasted the opportunity to score the second goal.
In the end, the result finished 1-1. Lazio climb to 29 points, two more than Roma, while Napoli remain in tenth place with 15 points.
