Napoli Held to Frustrating Draw at Venezia, Miss Chance to Lead Serie A

Despite dominating chances, Napoli's goalless draw leaves them level on points with Inter Milan in a tight title race.

  • Napoli failed to capitalize on 15 shots, including a fifth-minute effort from Giacomo Raspadori that struck the post, as Venezia's goalkeeper Ionut Radu made seven crucial saves.
  • The draw keeps Napoli in second place, level on 61 points with Inter Milan, who lead on goal difference ahead of their match against Atalanta later today.
  • Venezia, fighting relegation, delivered a resilient performance and nearly scored before halftime, with Napoli's Amir Rrahmani clearing off the line to deny Daniel Fila.
  • Napoli's recent form includes five draws in their last seven matches, raising concerns about their ability to secure a second league title in three seasons.
  • Antonio Conte emphasized the need for sharper finishing and disciplined defense, particularly after a late counter-attack scare, as the team prepares to face AC Milan after the international break.
