Watch live: Napoli fans’ Serie A dreams delayed following Salernitana draw
Football fans gathered in Napoli to watch the team’s match against Salernitana, and a victory would have secured the club its first Serie A championship since the Diego Maradona era back in 1990.
The home side ended up drawing thanks to a header goal by Mathias Olivera, from a Giacomo Raspadori corner.
This marks Olivera’s second goal for Napoli, after scoring against Cremonese on 9 October.
However, it finished 1-1 following an 84th-minute net from Boulaye Dia.
Fans across the city can be heard cheering and blaring vuvuzelas as they packed out bars to catch a glimpse of the action.
The result has delayed their hopes of clinching the title.
