Overview
- Napoli drew 2-2 at home to Verona after trailing 0-2 at half-time, with Scott McTominay and Giovanni Di Lorenzo cancelling out first-half goals by Martin Frese and Gift Orban.
- Two Napoli goals were disallowed, including a Rasmus Hojlund strike ruled out for handball, and Verona’s second came from a penalty awarded on VAR review for a Buongiorno handball.
- Conte criticized the officiating as subjective, highlighted the Hojlund handball decision, and said he expects only David Neres to be available to return for the Milan trip, with Mazzocchi back from suspension.
- Inter beat Parma 2-0 through Federico Dimarco and Marcus Thuram to record a sixth straight league win and move four points clear of Napoli at the top.
- Inter will host Napoli at San Siro on Sunday in a meeting that could strongly influence the title race after the leaders capitalized on Napoli’s slip.
