Fiorentina and Napoli fail to make an impact

With a draw between Napoli and Fiorentina on Sunday in the last match of the Serie A round 3, both the teams tried very hard to win. Fiorentina is still unbeaten this year after recording their third consecutive scoreless draw. To assist an offensive pack that included Riccardo Sottil, Luka Jovic, and Jonathan Ikoné, their coach Vincenzo Italiano set up the new joiner Barak in the middle of the field.

Fiorentina got the game going with intense pressure as they attempted to smother the visitors. When Alex Meret failed to stop what appeared to be an easy shot, they came close to opening the score, but Giacomo Bonaventura's rebounded shot was off-target. Only a poor free-kick shot by Mario Rui and a goal that was wrongfully disallowed for Victor Osimhen in the first half was recorded by Napoli.
