Napoli’s 2-2 draw against Genoa at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona has significantly tightened the Serie A title race, leaving them just one point ahead of Inter Milan with two matches remaining.

In the match, Napoli took the lead twice through goals from Romelu Lukaku and Giacomo Raspadori. However, Genoa managed to equalize both times, with an own goal by Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret and a late header from Johan Vásquez. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Napoli couldn’t secure the win.

This result, coupled with Inter Milan’s 2-0 victory over Torino, has intensified the competition for the Scudetto. Napoli’s upcoming fixtures against Parma and Cagliari are now crucial, while Inter faces Lazio and Como. The title race is poised for a dramatic conclusion, with the possibility of a playoff if both teams finish level on points.

Napoli’s manager, Antonio Conte, expressed his disappointment over the draw but emphasized the need for composure and focus in the remaining matches. He acknowledged the team’s dominance in the game, noting their 22 shots, 11 on target, and superior possession, but attributed the result to small mistakes and missed opportunities.

The draw also ended Napoli’s four-match winning streak and marked the first time they conceded two goals in a home Serie A match since last November. With the title race now more open than ever, both Napoli and Inter will be under immense pressure to secure victories in their final fixtures.

As the season nears its conclusion, the Serie A title race promises a thrilling finish, with every point crucial in determining the champion.
