In the late match of the 31st day of Serie A, Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna slows down Napoli's run and continues to dream of qualifying for the Champions League: at the Dall'Ara it ends 1-1: a match of two sides, with a first half dominated by the Azzurri and a second half all rossoblù.
Napoli took the lead with a splendid personal initiative by Anguissa in the 18th minute: the Cameroonian wins a physical duel with Lucumi, resists Holm and Miranda, dribbles past Skorupski and scores with composure. Bologna, already deprived of their captain at the last minute Ferguson, the Polish goalkeeper also loses after 25 minutes: inside Ravaglia, who shortly after saved the result from McTominay with a prodigious intervention.
The Neapolitan team, without Meret e Good morning, seemed in control in the first half, coming close to doubling the lead several times also thanks to a Lukaku in great form. But in the second half everything changes. Bologna raises the intensity, takes control of the pitch and forces Napoli into their own half. After an initial miracle by Scuffet on Lucumi, the equaliser arrives in the 64th minute: it's ndoye, with a brilliant backheel assisted by Odgaard, which made the Dall'Ara explode.
In the end, the hosts even came close to victory with Holm, whose header is blocked by Scuffet, while Castro the winning tap-in is missing. Napoli only becomes dangerous in injury time, with a free kick from Breakers blocked without too many problems. With this result, Napoli rises to 65 points, 3 points behind the leaders Inter and without taking advantage of the Nerazzurri's draw in Parma. Bologna remains in fourth place, gaining a point on Atalanta and now preparing for a crucial direct clash against the Bergamo team.
