In a Serie A encounter, Como and Napoli ended the match with a goalless draw. Como’s defense managed a crucial goal-line clearance, while Napoli’s Matteo Politano struck the woodwork. The result means that Cesc Fabregas and Antonio Conte’s teams share the points.
The match was a significant one for both sides, with Como positioned fifth and Napoli second, both still vying for a Champions League spot. Como had most of their squad available, with only Jayden Addai on the injury list. Napoli saw the return of Giovanni Di Lorenzo to the bench after a three-month absence due to a knee injury, but several key players like Mathias Olivera, Juan Jesus, David Neres, Antonio Vergara, and Romelu Lukaku remained sidelined.
This fixture marked a reunion between Cesc Fabregas and his former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte on the sidelines. The two had previously met in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, where Conte’s Napoli eliminated Fabregas’s Como on penalties.
Como came close to scoring early on when Tasos Douvikas, after breaking the offside trap from a Nico Paz pass, rounded the goalkeeper. However, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic’s efforts to slow him down allowed Amir Rrahmani to make a vital goal-line clearance.
Further chances for Como included a wide shot from Martin Baturina and a denial by Milinkovic-Savic on Assane Diao, who was sent through by a swift counter-attack initiated by Nico Paz. A Nico Paz free-kick went over the bar, and a late corner flick saw Jacobo Ramon narrowly miss connecting from close range.
In the second half, Rasmus Hojlund’s penalty appeal was dismissed due to an offside call, and Diao’s header at the far post went over. Milinkovic-Savic had to be alert to a deflected shot from Baturina, making a scrambling save.
Scott McTominay had a significant opportunity in the 79th minute, latching onto a pass from the left and firing just wide of the near post with only the goalkeeper to beat.
Napoli had their own near miss when Matteo Politano, after a clean tackle on Jesus Rodriguez inside the penalty area, launched a counter-attack. His curling shot from outside the box struck the far post.
Ultimately, the match concluded as it had earlier in the season between these two teams in Serie A at the Stadio Maradona – a goalless draw.
