Rome, May 7 (BNA): Napoli beat its host Turin 1-0 despite missing a penalty kick and boosting its third place in the Italian Serie A soccer tournament on Saturday.
Fabian Ruiz scored in the second half after Lorenzo Insigne saved another penalty, according to the Associated Press.
Napoli led by four points to fourth-placed Juventus, who lost In Genoa 2-1 On Friday, after two late goals from the owners of the land.
It is five points behind Inter Milan, the league leader, with two games remaining.
Napoli had a great opportunity to break the deadlock after the hour when Torino defender Armando Izu Dries Mertens fouled in the area but Insigne’s penalty was saved.
It was the fourth time this season that Insigne failed to convert a penalty.
The visitors took the lead in the 73rd minute when Ruiz stole the ball from Tommaso Pobega midway through the Torino game and made his way into the area before moving into the lower left corner.
Lazio were seeking to boost their chances of qualifying for Europe when they hosted relegation-threatened Sampdoria at a later date. Sassuolo also played late against Udinese.
