Another blunder by Napoli, Udinese takes a point from "Maradona"

Napoli's mistake when few expected it - the Neapolitans drew with Udinese at home tonight in the 24th round of Serie A (1:1).

Napoli recorded their second draw in a row tonight, after the one with Roma in the previous round (1:1), so Inter has a chance to close the gap on Conte's team to just one point tomorrow. The "Neroazzurri" welcome Fiorentina.

They tied Napoli with seven wins in Serie A, and then broke that streak in the previous round, with a draw in Rome, only to go winless in another match tonight.

Napoli took the lead in the 37th minute, when Politano crossed from a corner and McTominay headed the goal in.

Four minutes later, the visitors equalized, when Ekelenkamp fired a beautiful shot from about 16 meters. The visitors' goal was preceded by a weak reaction from the home players, who failed to clear the ball far enough from their own goal.

Midway through the second half, Neres tried to threaten the guests from distance, and then in the 70th minute, Angisa missed a chance to score.

Udinese managed to remain undefeated away to Napoli in Serie A tonight for the first time since 2013, or after 10 matches.
