Como played out a goalless 0-0 draw against Napoli in a Serie A clash at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on Saturday, 2 May 2026. The stalemate did little to advance either club's ambitions for the current season, leaving both with a sense of missed opportunity in their respective league battles.
For the hosts, Como, the draw was particularly disappointing as they now trail Juventus by two points in the race for the final Champions League qualification spot. The Old Lady has an opportunity to extend that advantage when they face Verona on Sunday, putting further pressure on Como's European aspirations.
Second-placed Napoli, meanwhile, saw their Serie A title defense effectively come to an end. Leaders Inter Milan are now nine points clear and require just a draw from their remaining four fixtures to secure the league title, potentially claiming the Scudetto when they host Parma on Sunday. Napoli also faces pressure from third-placed AC Milan, who could join them on 70 points this weekend with a game in hand.
The match saw several opportunities for both sides. Early in the first half, Como's Nico Paz set up Anastasios Douvikas, who rounded Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, only for two defenders to block his shot off the goal-line. Napoli responded with Scott McTominay heading over from a corner, while Como's Martin Baturina bent an effort wide and Assane Diao was denied by a good save from Milinkovic-Savic.
The second half continued in a similar vein. Napoli's appeal for a penalty after contact involving Rasmus Hojlund was dismissed by the referee. Later, a deflected shot from Baturina required a desperate save from a wrong-footed Milinkovic-Savic. The best chance of the second period fell to McTominay on 80 minutes, who steered his finish into the side netting after a lofted through-ball. Matteo Politano then struck the post for Napoli five minutes later with a spectacular curling effort, ensuring the match ended in a frustrating 0-0 draw.
