Napoli Rally Twice to Hold Roma in Naples.

Napoli and AS Roma drew 2-2 in their Serie A clash at the Stadio Diego Armando
Maradona on Sunday, as Gli Azzurri twice came from behind to secure a crucial point
and extend their unbeaten home league run to 23 matches (W16, D7).
Roma, chasing a first top-four finish since 2017/18, struck inside seven minutes.
Bryan Zaragoza’s low cross found Donyell Malen, who swept home first time past Vanja
Milinkovic-Savic for his fourth goal in Giallorossi colours.
Napoli responded before the break when Leonardo Spinazzola’s 25-yard effort deflected
off Niccolo Pisilli and looped over Mile Svilar to level the score.
The visitors regained the lead after Amir Rrahmani fouled Wesley Franca in the box,
and Malen calmly converted the resulting penalty for his second of the night.
Facing a first home league defeat in 23 matches, Napoli pushed forward and substitute
Alisson Santos struck in the 82 nd minute, firing into the bottom corner to rescue a point.
Antonio Conte’s side searched for a late winner but had to settle for a draw that leaves
them 11 points behind leaders Inter.
