FIORENTINA V INTER KICKING OFF SHORTLY
The Serie A action doesn't end here tonight, as Inter are about to face Fiorentina with the chance to go top of the table.
You can follow all the action from Florence here:
POINTS SHARED
NAPOLI BLUNT IN ATTACK
STAR MEN MISSED IN ROMAN STALEMATE
Lazio and Napoli suffered in the absence of their star forwards as they played out a 0-0 stalemate at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Ciro Immobile and Mattia Zaccagni were suspended for the hosts, while Napoli’s long list of absentees included the strike partners who fired them to last season’s Serie A title, Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Chances were few and far between on a night where both sides had the opportunity to claim a big scalp in the top four race, but the result leaves Lazio two points off fourth and Napoli four points off the coveted UEFA Champions League spots.
Lazio winger Gustav Isaksen was the only player to provide any spark in a drab first half, sending two shots from good positions over the bar and requiring some close attention from Napoli’s five-man backline when he got the ball at his feet.
Things livened up after the break, with Taty Castellanos having a sensational overhead kick finish ruled out for offside before another dangerous effort by the Lazio striker was cleared by Leo Ostigard.
Danilo Cataldi sent a daisy-cutter inches wide for the hosts, while Gianluca Gaetano volleyed wide and Piotr Zielinski sent a free-kick off target in rare efforts for a Napoli side looking short on ideas in attack.
FULL-TIME: LAZIO 0-0 NAPOLI
The home side had the better of this one and may regret not taking a full three points against a depleted Napoli side. Thankfully the football improved in the second half, but it wasn't an evening packed full of big chances.
PINBALL IN THE BOX
But Lazio can't force it in!
NAPOLI CLEAR
Alberto puts it right on top of the keeper, but Gollini does well to palm that out of danger.
LAZIO ON TOP
Lazio are piling on the pressure but can't find a way through this Napoli defence.
Pellegrini's long-range effort takes a deflection and they win a corner.
FIVE MINUTES ADDED
Will we get some drama at the death?
VECINO OFF TARGET
Vecino leaps and heads, but he's leaning back and it flies miles over. The midifielder is already showing his aerial threat though.
LAZIO CHANCE
Pellegeini sends a fantastic deep cross in to Vecino, who tries to head it back across goal to a team-mate for a tap-in, but it's deflected into the grateful arms of Gollini.
This could go either way!
