Fiorentina vs Napoli

Fiorentina and Napoli played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at the Franchi, a game shaped early by the woodwork rather than the net. The hosts rattled the frame twice inside a couple of minutes through Atta and Fagioli, before Napoli's Olivera did the same at the other end. Napoli broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute when Gilmour met a corner routine unmarked and finished first-time from the edge of the box. Fiorentina answered just after the break, Jimenez levelling in the 51st minute with a strike from distance that deflected off Marin and wrong-footed the goalkeeper. Both sides threatened again late on, with goalkeeper De Gea producing key saves to deny Neres and Favasuli. Neither club got what it wanted from the result. Vanoli's Fiorentina move to 4 points, while Allegri's Napoli sit on 7, but both missed the chance to climb into the provisional top six with a win.
