Former European champions SSC Napoli may have squandered their chance to win their first Italian Serie A title since 1990.
Napoli couldn’t get past a 1-1 (1-0) draw against AS Roma in the “Derby del Sud” on Monday evening after conceding a late goal.
Third in the table, Napoli are four behind leaders AC Milan on 67 points. Second-placed Inter Milan have 69 points but still have a catch-up game to play.
Captain Lorenzo Insigne (11th) scored a penalty kick for the hosts, where former German international Diego Demme came on as a substitute. Guest joker Stephan El Shaarawy (90 + 1) equalized.
Before the encounter, Roma coach Jose Mourinho laid flowers at a memorial for Napoli legend Diego Maradona, who died in 2020.
