Outstanding performance
Roma•AttackerRoma twice took the lead in this entertaining Serie A encounter, but Napoli showed tremendous resilience to earn a hard-fought point at home. Donyell Malen was the standout performer for the visitors, opening the scoring with a clinical finish from Bryan Zaragoza's assist after just seven minutes and later converting a penalty to restore Roma's advantage. However, Napoli's character shone through with Leonardo Spinazzola's stunning equalizer from outside the box and substitute Alisson Santos providing the dramatic leveler eight minutes from time. The result maintains both teams' mid-table positions as they continue to rebuild their campaigns.
