Naples and AC Milan will also be opposed next Sunday at the Diego-Maradona stadium in the match at the top of the 28th day.

Neapolitan captain Lorenzo Insigne opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, his seventh of the Serie A season, with a shot low to the post from outside the area.

Then Lazio equalized by the Spaniard Pedro with a clear recovery with the left foot that David Ospina could only touch (88th), but another Spaniard, from Naples that one, Fabian Ruiz, scored the goal of the victory after additional time, with a curled shot from the left close to the post, on a pass from Insigne (90 + 4).

Luciano Spalletti's team, knocked out by Barcelona in the Europa League last Thursday (4-2 defeat), therefore reacted superbly and took advantage of the missteps of AC Milan, hung at home by Udinese on Friday (1-1) , and Inter (which also drew on Friday, on the ground of Genoa (0-0).

Napoli are ahead of Milan on goal difference (+30 against +24).

Inter follow two lengths but have one game less, and Juventus (4th) seven after their 3-2 victory at Empoli on Saturday.

Lazio remain seventh, seven points behind Juventus.

Roma in extremis

AS Roma, for its part, brought back three points in extremis (1-0) from its trip to the poorly ranked La Spezia, thanks to a last-minute penalty scored by Tammy Abraham (90 + 9).

The Romans have thus returned to success after three consecutive draws in the league, and climb to 6th place.

La Spezia played ten throughout the second half following the exclusion of Frenchman Kelvin Amian for two yellow cards (45th).

Cagliari, a week after resisting Naples, won on the lawn of Torino (2-1) and left the red zone, which Venice found after its defeat at Hellas Verona (3-1).

Cagliari's very good start to 2022 continues.

After notably beating Atalanta (2-1) at home and holding Napoli in check (1-1) at home, the Sardinians climb to 17th place.

Cagliari opened the scoring through Raoul Bellanova (21st), but the Turinese equalized through Andrea Belotti (54th), before Alessando Deiola (62nd) gave victory to Walter Mazzarri's team.

After a disastrous start to the season, the Sardinians have taken 15 points in eight games since the resumption in January.

They are three points ahead of Venice (18th), beaten 3-1 at Hellas Verona, who could count on their striker Giovanni Simeone, author of a hat-trick (54th, 63rd, 88th).

Venice scored by David Okereke (81st).

Hellas is now 9th, four points from the top European places.
