“After David de Gea saved twice from Olivera at a corner, Napoli kept the pressure on and Billy Gilmour finished from the centre of the box to put the visitors ahead.”
Pivotal“Straight after the break, Fiorentina won a free kick from a Højlund foul on Dragusin, and Álex Jiménez stepped up to curl a superb effort from outside the box into the net to level the match.”
Pivotal“David de Gea was booked for time-wasting as Fiorentina looked to run down the clock and preserve the point against a Napoli side still pushing for a winner.”

Outstanding performance
Fiorentina•DefenderNapoli dominated the underlying numbers, controlling 58% of possession and creating four big chances to Fiorentina's one, and their early breakthrough came from persistence at a corner as Gilmour pounced after David de Gea denied Olivera twice in quick succession. Fiorentina, sitting deeper and relying on transitions, hit back just after the restart when Álex Jiménez curled a stunning effort from outside the box following a Dragusin-won free kick. Despite Napoli's territorial superiority and a flurry of second-half substitutions from both managers looking for a winner, neither side could find a breakthrough, with Fiorentina's David de Gea again central to the resistance, picking up a booking for time-wasting late on as his side held firm. The draw leaves both sides mid-table in the early-season picture, with Napoli likely frustrated at not converting their chance-creation advantage into three points, while Fiorentina will take confidence from grinding out a point against a title-chasing side away from home.
