Napoli forfeit expensive points in the battle for the national title | Football

There was a lot at stake for both teams on Monday night. AS Roma still have a chance of a place among the best four in Italy, while Napoli did not want to lose the connection with league-leader AC Milan.

The home team had a dream start, because after ten minutes the ball hit the spot. Hirving Lozano was knocked down in the penalty area and although the referee dismissed the incident as nothing, VAR called him aside to watch the footage. The ball went on the spot and from eleven meters Lorenzo Insigne did not fail: 1-0.

The game then went up and down for a long time, but it was substitute Stephan El Shaarawy who gave AS Roma another point.

The club from Naples is four points behind leader AC Milan after 33 league matches. That team already won 2-0 against Genoa on Friday. Internazionale, which played one game less, has two points less than Milan.
