Naples held Serie A leaders Lazio to a 1-1 draw on Sunday, ending the Roman club’s run of six consecutive league victories, lefigaro.fr reported.
Gennaro Gattuso’s Lazio side remains undefeated after 11 matches and stays atop the table.
Davide Frattesi put Lazio ahead in the 28th minute during a one-sided first half. Naples nearly conceded a second before Alfonso Pedraza turned the ball into his own net in the 48th minute to equalize. Massimiliano Allegri’s team improved after the interval, with Giovane testing the defense from a late shot in the 85th minute.
Naples supporters directed whistles at their team throughout the match and after the final whistle, singling out Noa Lang for criticism. The reigning runners-up are tenth in the standings with 15 points.
Massimiliano Allegri acknowledged the difficult start on DAZN.
On n’a pas fait une bonne première période. Il faut retenir ce qu’on fait après la pause. Il faut repartir de là, d’autant qu’avec la trêve, on va récupérer des joueurs actuellement blessés, said Massimiliano Allegri.
Allegri remains confident despite seven defeats this term. “Il y a toujours des moments difficiles dans une saison, je reste confiant, je vais bien,” he stated. “Quand on est en pleine mer au milieu d’une tempête, on arrive toujours à ramener le bateau à bon port.”
Lazio holds a two-point advantage over second-placed AS Roma, which defeated Sassuolo 3-0 on Saturday. Inter Milan sits third with 25 points ahead of their trip to Como.
