Held in check at home by Hellas Verona (1-1), Sunday, during the 12th day of Serie A, Napoli missed a great opportunity to distance himself from the top of the standings.

This result just allowed the Rossoneri to remain co-leaders with Napoli, with 32 points each, and to be 7 ahead of third-placed Inter. In the other matches of the day, AS Rome continues to disappoint, after a surprising defeat, the 5th of the season, in Venice (3-2), while Lazio Rome very logically won against Salernitana by Franck Ribéry (3-0). At last,Juventus waited for stoppage time to overcome a courageous Fiorentina and outnumbered (1-0).
