2022/2023 Serie A

1-1    

Match Report

Napoli are on 79 points, far ahead of second-placed Lazio on 61 points with six games remaining.

They will have another chance to clinch the Scudetto away at Udinese on Thursday.

The stadium erupted when Napoli found the net just after the hour mark through defender Mathias Olivera, who leaped up in the box to nod the ball into the bottom left corner from a corner kick.

But Salernitana equalised seven minutes from time through forward Boulaye Dia, who broke into Napoli's area and struck the ball at by the far post.

Argentine star Diego Maradona inspired Napoli to its last triumph in 1990, but since then, the coveted champions' scudetto has been won almost exclusively by teams from wealthy northern Italy such as Juventus and AC Milan.
