Report: Lazio Held by Napoli, Stay Unbeaten and Top of Table

Lazio drew at Napoli and remain unbeaten and alone at the top of the table, Corriere dello Sport reported, saying the point at the "Maradona" keeps them clear of any result in the weekend's big match at the "Meazza" and gives them two more weeks in first place.

The report said Lazio controlled the first half and created a series of chances, but scored only once, citing saves by the elder Milinkovic-Savic and hesitant finishing from Isaksen and then Taylor in front of goal. It said the second half was slow and sloppy, with Mandas decisive again, and warned that the team's first and second halves have clashed before, including against Milan, Venezia and Monza.

According to the outlet, the absence of Zaccagni and the limited use of a cautious Tavares removed Lazio's left-sided chain, while Pedraza was unlucky with an own goal. It said Noslin was again among the best and that Frattesi's goal was half his, but that Pinamonti, who replaced him centrally, looked out of place.

The report said Gattuso now has two weeks to recover Rovella, Marusic and, it hopes, Gudmundsson before games against Lecce, Torino, Atalanta and the derby.
