A clash without a winner.
On Sunday evening, AS Roma settled for a frustrating draw on the pitch in Naples (2-2) as part of the 25th matchday of the league.
Eager to overtake their opponents in the standings and climb onto the podium, the Romans got off to a perfect start thanks to a quick goal from their new star Donyell Malen (7th minute).
Applying more pressure towards the end of the first half, Napoli took advantage of a deflected shot from Leonardo Spinazzola to equalize just before halftime (40th minute).
In a balanced second half, Roma found the breakthrough again thanks to a penalty won by Wesley. Without flinching, Donyell Malen converted the attempt, securing himself a brace (71st minute).
The joy was short-lived for the Romans, as just 11 minutes later, Napoli’s winter signing Alisson Santos scored his first goal in his new colors to bring both teams level for good.
With this draw, both teams stall and fall behind in their objectives. Napoli let AC Milan and Inter pull away, while Roma missed the chance to catch up with their opponent of the night.
