Napoli and Como played to a 0-0 draw in Serie A on May 2, 2026. The result significantly dims Napoli’s hopes of defending their Scudetto title.
Inter Milan leads the league, sitting nine points clear at the top. Napoli’s title defense is effectively over, as Inter needs just a draw from their remaining fixtures to secure the championship.
Scott McTominay missed a crucial opportunity for Napoli in the 80th minute. Matteo Politano hit the post with a curling effort late in the match.
Como also had chances, including a denied goal by a goal-line clearance. Rasmus Hojlund’s penalty appeal was rejected by the referee.
Key statistics:
- The final score was 0-0.
- Como is two points behind Juventus in the Champions League race.
- Inter Milan remains nine points clear at the top of the Serie A table.
This match marks another disappointing result for Napoli, who aimed for more this season. “This draw feels like another quiet surrender in a season that promised much more,” an observer noted.
The game had moments of intensity but lacked finishing quality. For Como, it was a missed opportunity—plain and simple.
As it stands, Napoli could reach 70 points if AC Milan wins their upcoming matches. Their next challenge will be critical as they look to salvage something from this season.
