Napoli are still in pole position to win the Serie A championship, but Antonio Conte and company's lead has almost evaporated after the team's misstep against Genoa. The Neapolitans only managed a 2:2 draw at home in a match from the 36th round of the championship.
Romelu Lukaku put the hosts ahead in the 15th minute, but goalkeeper Alex Meret scored an own goal in the 32nd. Giacomo Raspadori restored the hosts's lead in the second half after another assist from Scott McTominay, but even that was not enough for Napoli, who conceded another equalizer in the 84th minute, this time from Johan Vazquez.
Thus, Napoli's lead at the top over champions Inter is only a point, after the Nerazzurri subdued Torino for a 2:0 away victory. The goals for Simone Inzaghi's team were scored by Nicola Zalewski and Christian Aslani from the penalty spot. Until the end of the season, Napoli will visit Parma and play Cagliari at home, while Inter's schedule is less favorable at first glance - a home game against Lazio and a visit to Como.
Genoa finishes the campaign calmly, being 13th with 40 points and in the next round will play Atalanta at home. | BGNES
