SS Lazio held Napoli on Saturday evening for the third time this season. A last-gasp goal by substitute Boulaye Dia earned Lazio a 2-2 draw against visitors Napoli on Saturday, as the visitors threaded three games without winning and see their top spot at risk. Pedro was on Baroni’s starting line-up and displayed a valuable performance on the locals attacking line.
In a fast-paced encounter, Gustav Isaksen put Lazio in front after six minutes with an excellent shot from distance. The Denmark forward collected a clearance and fired home a powerful strike that went in after brushing the underside of the crossbar.
Giacomo Raspadori equalised for Napoli seven minutes later, firing the ball through the legs of Lazio keeper Ivan Provedel after a Romelu Lukaku pass. That was Napoli's only shot on goal in the first half.
Their second and final shot on target in the game came after the break when Lukaku's low attempt from the edge of the box was denied by Provedel.
Napoli took the lead in the 64th minute after Lazio defender Adam Marusic put the ball into his own goal, and Lazio midfielder Mattia Zaccagni responded by finding the net with a stunning overhead kick three minutes later but his effort was ruled out for offside.
However, Dia levelled for the hosts in the 87th, sending a low shot into the far corner.
