The clash between Napoli and AS Roma produced no winner (2-2) but a breathtaking scenario at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Romans struck very early through Donyell Malen (7th), before the Neapolitan reaction concluded by Leonardo Spinazzola just before the break (40th). Returning from the locker room, the Dutch striker gave the visitors the advantage again from the penalty spot (71st), seeming to offer a valuable success to Gian Piero Gasperini’s men in this duel at the top of the table.
But Naples refused to give in and were rewarded at the end of the match thanks to young winter recruit Alisson Santos (82nd), who snatched the equalizer and saved an important point for Antonio Conte’s team. This draw leaves the two teams neck and neck in the fight for European places, without a real winner in the ranking but with the feeling of having witnessed an intense duel between two serious championship contenders.
