Parma and Naples they drew, score 1-1, at “Ennio Tardini”, in the direct confrontation of the #32 stage of Serie A. The Italian champions interrupted their streak of five consecutive victories, and Inter can take the decisive step in the fight for the title.
The hosts shocked their opponents with a goal scored as early as the 36th second. Goalkeeper Suzuki powerfully cleared the ball in front and Nesta Elphege headed it for Gabriel Strefezza, who advanced and scored.
The Brazilian scored his debut goal for Parma and the Frenchman managed his first decisive assist for the team. Both footballers were acquired in the winter by Parma.
Napoli dominated, but failed to impose themselves in Parma: huge chance for Inter and Cristi Chivu
The first half was completely dominated by Napoli, even if the team did not create many scoring opportunities. After the break, the Neapolitans attacked the opposition goal more courageously and this paid off in the 60th minute when Scott McTominay scored the equalizing goal after a decisive pass from Rasmus Hojlund. In the remaining time, the visitors looked more insistently for the winning goal, but could not get it.
Despite this draw, Napoli remain second in the table with a total of 66 points, but if Inter win away to fifth-placed Como tonight, the Serie A leader will extend his lead to nine points. Parma, on the other hand, remains in 14th position, with 36 points.
There are 6 stages left until the end of the Serie A season. At first glance it seems that Napoli has the easier schedule until the end of the season: Lazio, Cremonese, Como, Bologna, Pisa and Udinese.
Inter, apart from the duel with Como, will also play against Cagliari, Torino, Parma, Lazio, Verona and Bologna.
