Udinese managed to stop Napoli. The Serie A Week 15 game ended with a draw on Saturday 7 December 2019 at the Dacia Arena in Udine, Italy. This draw is more a victory for Udinese while for Napoli is just an extension of their rocky road failing to win in 9 games. Napoli winning only 5 games reaching 21 points and the dream for the Scudetto is just a thing of the past. Up to Serie A Week 15, Napoli is 17 points below Inter with 38 points in the first position.
Udinese opening the score in the 32nd minute. It is Captain Kevin Lasagna to defeat Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Seko Fofana.
