Serie A Standing BEFORE the game
Bologna, 11th position with 50 points and a positive goal difference of +3
Napoli, 1st position with 86 points and a positive goal difference of +47
Napoli, the Champions of Italy, ended the Serie A Week 37 game with a draw on Sunday 28 May 2023 at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy. In the standings, Bologna moves to 51 points, losing contact from 8th place, while Napoli rises to 87 but sees the possibility of beating the record set in the 2017/18 season fade away. A super Victor Osimhen with a brace for Napoli is not enough to achieve victory. Bologna comeback signed by Ferguson and De Silvestri. The championship will end with Napoli-Sampdoria and Lecce-Bologna.
Napoli had not drawn a Serie A match after going two goals up since 1 December 2021 (2-2 v Sassuolo). Bologna had not drawn a league game after going down by two goals since 23 December 2020 (2-2 v Atalanta). Bologna (51 in 2022/23) passed the 50-point mark in a Serie A championship for the first time since 2011/12, when they reached 51 and finished in 9th place.
Napoli opened the score in the 14th minute. Forward Victor Osimhen defeated Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner.
