COMO, Italy, May 2 : Defending Serie A champions Napoli were held to a 0-0 draw at Como on Saturday, a result which means leaders Inter Milan now need just one point to secure the league title.
Inter hold a nine-point lead over Napoli, who have three matches left, and a draw at home to Parma on Sunday would clinch the Scudetto. Como, meanwhile, boosted their chances of qualifying for Europe for the first time.
Cesc Fabregas’s side are fifth in the standings on 62 points, two behind Juventus who host already relegated Hellas Verona on Sunday and, with the top six guaranteed European football, Como are eight points ahead of Atalanta in seventh.
Como looked the more likely side to take all three points, with keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic coming to Napoli’s rescue on more than one occasion, while Matteo Politano hit the post late on for the visitors.
