JAKARTA - The bottom team of Frosinone took one point home from a trip to the headquarters of defending Italian League champions Napoli after a 1-1 draw, in the match of the Italian League at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Naples, Sunday. The draw has not boosted Frosinone from the bottom. They are still in 18th position, now with 27 points. While the Partenopei stuck in eighth position with 49 points, Napoli's official website recorded. Victor Osimhen fired a shot from goalkeeper Stefano Turati's push, while Leo Ostigard's shot from close range still soared.

Napoli got the hard work in the 16th minute. Matteo Politano scored a beautiful goal as he moved to cut from the right, to curl his left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty box. 1-0 for Napoli. Not long after, Frosinone was awarded a penalty after Amir Rrahmani fouled Walid Cheddira in the box. But Matias Soule's execution failed to bear a return goal, as his ball was blocked by goalkeeper Alex Meret. The 1-0 advantage for the hosts lasted until halftime.

Napoli hit again at the start of the second half. Osimhen fired a cungkil kick which was parried by the Turati goalkeeper, before the ball was secured by Simone Romagnoli.

However, Frosinone was able to equalize in the 50th minute. Soule's ball could be stolen from goalkeeper Meret, to be fed to Cheddira who easily put it in an empty net.

Napoli restored their one-goal lead in the 63rd minute. From the corner kick situation, the ball can be followed by Kvaratskhelia's shot which was later deflected, and became a bait for Osimhen to grab. Napoli's lead did not last long. Frosinone equalized again in the 73rd minute when Cheddira fulfilled his brace by taking advantage of a cross from the right. The position changed again to 2-2.

In the final phase of the match, Giovanni Di Lorenzo sent a pass to substitute Giovanni Simone, who failed to grab him. Napoli defender Mario Rui had to leave the field early in the 98th minute, after he was rewarded with a second yellow card for his foul on Demba Seck.
