Venezia - Napoli 0:0

In the 29th round of Serie A, Napoli missed a golden opportunity to climb above Inter Milan in the standings after being held to a 0-0 draw by relegation-threatened Venezia. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Napoli's lack of finishing proved costly.

Napoli came close to scoring early when Giacomo Raspadori hit the post in the 5th minute. The visitors continued to press in the first half, with Raspadori and Scott McTominay testing Venezia's goalkeeper multiple times, but the shot-stopper was in inspired form, making several crucial saves.

The second half saw more frustration for Napoli, as Romelu Lukaku, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, and Giovanni Simeone all missed clear opportunities to break the deadlock. At the other end, Napoli's goalkeeper Alex Meret was equally solid, ensuring his team didn't fall behind.
