Roma and Napoli ended their match with a spectacular 3-3 draw, with Balerdi's victory in the 90th minute saving the unbeaten record of Allegri's team. The match, played at the San Siro, saw both teams show quality and character, but neither managed to bring home the victory. Napoli, with its solid performance, was awarded 11 points, while Roma confirmed its position at the top of the table, reaching 18 points.

The first half was intense from the start. Soulé took out a player in the 7th minute, while Napoli responded. Rensch saved a shot from Di Lorenzo in the 12th, and McTominay put Gollini in trouble. Roma responded with an action from Cristante and Malen, but it was Frank Anguissa who made the difference in the 27th minute, when he transformed Politano's free kick into a spectacular overhead kick that left Gollini immobile. Anguissa's action gave Roma a 1-0 lead, which was maintained until the 44th minute, when Cristante hit the post with his head, almost equalising.

The second half was characterized by a strong return from Napoli. Scott McTominay made it 2-0 in the 48th minute with a header from Politano's cross, and Politano nearly added a third goal in the 57th. However, Roma began to react. In the 70th minute, Soulé exchanged with Malen and found a great right-footed shot from the edge to make it 2-1, and four minutes later Balerdi equalised. Balerdi's action was decisive, as he took advantage of a confusing situation in the area to equalize.

The decisive goal came in the 90th minute, when Balerdi won the duel with Beukema and beat Meret for the final 3-3. The result kept Roma at the top of the table, while Napoli gained 11 points. After the result, Allegri was sent off for protesting, and in the final melee, Molina cleared the ball which could have given Napoli a narrow success. The match was a true spectacle of goals, emotions and spectacle, with both teams demonstrating that they have the qualities to compete at the highest level.
