Napoli quickly opened the scoring on a penalty from Lorenzo Insigne (11th) but was logically joined by a more biting Roma in the last half hour, rewarded by the equalizer from Stephan El Shaarawy (90 + 1st).
With this draw following the defeat already at home against Fiorentina (2-3), Insigne and his partners are still losing ground on AC Milan and Inter, both winners on Friday. The leaders rossoneri are four points ahead of Napoli and the nerazzuri dolphins two, with still a late game to play.
La Roma (5th), a specialist in late-game goals, extended their unbeaten streak in the league (twelve games). But José Mourinho will no doubt harbor some regrets for not having reopened the debate for fourth qualifying place for the Champions League: his team remains five points behind Juve (4th), hung on Saturday by Bologna (1-1).
