Napoli frustrate Como in costly Serie A stalemate

The draw will likely disappoint hosts Como the more as they now trail Juventus in the final Champions League spot by two points and the Old Lady can grow that advantage when they host Verona on Sunday. Second-placed Napoli know their Serie A title defence is over with leaders Inter Milan, now nine points clear, needing just a draw from their remaining four fixtures to win the league. Inter can claim the Scudetto on Sunday with three games to spare when they play mid-table Parma at the San Siro.
