Napoli and Roma Share Points in 3-3 Draw

AllScores

Serie A Matchday 8 produced a breathless six-goal thriller at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples, where Napoli and Roma played out a 3-3 draw on a cloudy afternoon. Napoli, under Massimiliano Allegri, struck first through Frank Anguissa's spectacular overhead kick in the 28th minute and doubled the lead three minutes after the break when Scott McTominay headed home Matteo Politano's assist. Roma, coached by Gian Piero Gasperini, responded with a double substitution on 58 minutes that changed the match, as Matias Soulé pulled one back from Donyell Malen's pass in the 69th minute before Leonardo Balerdi—only on the pitch as a substitute—levelled in the 74th. McTominay restored Napoli's advantage with his second of the game in the 83rd minute, but Balerdi struck again with a header from Wesley's assist in the 89th minute to rescue a point for the visitors. McTominay was named player of the match for his brace, while Napoli's coach Allegri was shown a red card deep into stoppage time.
