"McTominay had the ball in the back of the net 11 minutes in for Napoli. Alessandro Circati's clearance struck the post, and McTominay turned in the rebound on his second attempt, but it was ruled out for a VAR review for an offside against Paquale Mazzocchi in the build-up. Alessandro Buongiorno then thumped a header straight at Filippo Rinaldo from the edge of the six-yard box, while the goalkeeper also got down smartly to keep out Rasmus Hojlund."
"They certainly had their chances against Parma, racking up 16 shots worth 1.39 expected goals (xG), though only four were on target. Napoli also had 45 touches in the opposition box (to Parma's four), and 93 final-third entries, though they just could not find a breakthrough. It is the second straight 0-0 draw that the sides have played out in Serie A, while the Partenopei have registered three straight stalemates in the competition for the first time since February 2025."

Scott McTominay had an early goal disallowed after a VAR review for an offside in the build-up. Napoli created numerous chances — 16 shots (1.39 xG), 45 opposition-box touches, and 93 final-third entries — but managed only four on target. Several close attempts, including a late Amir Rrahmani effort, failed to break Parma's rigid defence, producing Napoli's third straight league stalemate.
