Napoli and Roma drew 3-3 on 24 October 2026 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples, in a Serie A match that twice saw Napoli lead before Roma came back.
Frank Zambo Anguissa and Scott McTominay put Napoli 2-0 ahead. Matías Soulé and Leonardo Balerdi then brought Roma level in the second half. McTominay restored Napoli's lead in the 83rd minute, before Balerdi equalised again in the 89th minute.
How the goals fell
The scoring sequence underlines how the lead changed hands late on:
- 28': Anguissa opens the scoring for Napoli
- 48': McTominay makes it 2-0
- 69': Soulé pulls one back for Roma
- 74': Balerdi levels it at 2-2
- 83': McTominay scores again to make it 3-2
- 89': Balerdi equalises again for 3-3
Napoli therefore led 2-0 and later 3-2, but Roma answered both times, with the decisive second equaliser arriving one minute before the 90th.
A point apiece after a late flashpoint
The closing minutes also brought a disciplinary twist: Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri was sent off for protests near the end of the match, after Balerdi's late equaliser.
The result left one point for each side after six goals shared between four scorers, with McTominay and Balerdi both scoring twice.
