Napoli missed the chance to narrow the gap at the top of Serie A after a 1-1 draw at Bologna on Monday as Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s first-half goal was cancelled out by a moment of magic from the host’s Dan Ndoye. With leader Inter Milan only managing a draw at Parma on Saturday, Napoli had a chance to close the gap, but it remained second with 65 points, three behind. Bologna is fourth on 57 points.
Napoli struck after 18 minutes when Zambo Anguissa seized a loose ball on the halfway line, burst past the Bologna defence and calmly rounded goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski to slot the ball into the net.

The moment of the match came four minutes after the hour mark when Bologna’s Ndoye received a pass inside the box and executed a brilliant back-heel flick that hit the underside of the bar before bouncing over the line.
Napoli’s reserve keeper Simone Scuffet, called into the side shortly before kickoff after Alex Meret was taken ill, made a crucial diving save in stoppage time to deny Bologna’s Emil Holm.
