ROME : Lazio and champions Napoli played out a 0-0 draw at the Stadio Olimpico in Serie A on Sunday as both teams struggled to create opportunities in a clash between last season's top two sides.
Lazio thought they had taken the lead seconds after the restart with a stunning bicycle kick from forward Valentin Castellanos but his effort was ruled out for offside.
Lazio are sixth in the standings on 34 points, two points behind fourth-placed Atalanta and level with Fiorentina, in fifth, who host Inter Milan later on Sunday.
Napoli sit ninth with 32 points.
