Napoli’s title defense in Serie A takes a blow after a draw against Parma


Napoli conceded a goal after 33 seconds in a 1-1 draw against Parma on Sunday, which could end its chances of successfully defending the Serie A title.

The result left Napoli six points behind Italian leaders Inter Milan, who later visited Como with a chance to extend their lead.

Scott McTominay equalized for Napoli on the hour mark after Gabriel Strefezza scored early with a move that started with a long ball from Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.

The result ended a five-match winning streak for Napoli.

Parma moved nine points above the relegation zone in fourteenth place.

Earlier, Genoa won against Sassuolo 2-1 thanks to goals from Ruslan Malinovskyi and Caleb Ekuban.
