Napoli and Roma played to a 3-3 draw in an intense Serie A encounter on October 24, 2026, at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples. The match featured six goals and multiple lead changes, with both teams demonstrating attacking prowess throughout the encounter.
Napoli opened the scoring in the 28th minute when Frank Anguissa executed a spectacular overhead kick from the edge of the box, sending the ball inside the post past Roma goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini. The hosts doubled their advantage early in the second half when Scott McTominay headed in from Matteo Politano's right-footed cross in the 48th minute, though the effort followed a save by Gollini that had already crossed the line.
Roma mounted a comeback through Matías Soulé and Leonardo Balerdi. Soulé reduced the deficit to 2-1 in the 70th minute with a powerful angled left-footed shot from outside the box following an exchange with Donyell Malen. Balerdi equalized at 2-2 in the 74th minute, finishing from close range after Santiago Castro chested the ball to him in a scramble inside the Napoli box.
McTominay restored Napoli's lead at 3-2 in the 83rd minute with a right-footed shot from outside the box, following up after Leonardo Spinazzola had forced a save from Gollini. However, Balerdi struck again in the 89th minute, heading in an equalizer from Wesley's cross to secure a 3-3 final score. Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri was sent off following protests over an alleged foul during Balerdi's final goal.
