The last time these 2 clubs met in Naples, Partenopei destroyed the Old Lady 5-1, and they won 1^st Scudetto in 33 years.

The home side secured the lead near the end of the 1^st half when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored in the 42^nd minute after a fantastic volley inside the box.

However, near the end, Federico Chiesa scored in the 81^st minute to tie the result after an assist from Carlos Alcaraz.

In the 87^th minute, Napoli were given penalty for a foul against Victor Osimhen and the Nigerian forward decided to took the penalty himself. That was the 1^st penalty against the Old Lady since the beginning of the season.
