Napoli, third draw in a row: Lazio avoids a knockout in the finale

Lazio-Napoli 2-2

After those with Roma and Udinese, Napoli’s series of consecutive draws continues, as it was stopped again at the Olimpico, as against the Giallorossi, this time by Lazio. The comeback after the initial disadvantage was not enough, becauseé in the final minutes è Boulaye Dia to sign the final 2-2, which still slows down the path of the partenopei, still first but potentially second in case of Inter's victory over Juventus on Sunday night.

The match è heated from the first minutes: to pass first è Lazio, with Isaksen, who on 6' took advantage of a too-short clearance by Rrahmani to recover the ball and send it under the crossbar behind Meret. The equalizer has to wait only until 13': a one-two between Raspadori and Lukaku, the former Sassuolo man strikes with his left foot and beats Provedel for the 1-1.

Lazio loses Castellanos to a muscle injury at 25' (in his place there's Noslin) but è a loss that does not weigh on the morale of the biancazzurri, who at 39' with Rovella come close to scoring and in the opening of the resumption go again close to the advantage with Isaksen, whose conclusion at 55' ends out by a very little.

It's Napoli, however, that took better advantage of the offensive lunges, completing the comeback at 65': è an unlucky own goal, that of Adam Marusic, who last touched the ball mocking his own goalkeeper after a knock-and-turn in the box. Lazio seemed to find the equalizer just two minutes later, but there'è offside in the action that led Zaccagni into the goal.

The 2-2, forò, arrives anyway, although the hosts have to wait until minute 87: to score it, with a precise diagonal, è Boulaye Dia, who entered a few minutes earlier in place of Pedro, thus frustrating the guests’ ambitions. The match remains alive but no other notable conclusions come: it ends 2-2, Napoli rises to 56 while Lazio remains fourth, moving to 46.
