Osimhen had a golden opportunity to double their advantage but narrowly missed the target in the first half.

Frosinone had a chance to level the scores from the penalty spot, but Matias Soule failed to convert as Alex Meret made a crucial save for Napoli.

After the break, Napoli continued to press forward, with Osimhen and Giovanni Di Lorenzo going close to extending their lead.

However, Frosinone capitalized on a defensive error to equalize through Cheddira.

Napoli regained the lead shortly after, with Osimhen pouncing on a deflected shot from Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Yet, Frosinone again responded quickly, with Cheddira heading home to level the score, bagging a brace.

Despite both teams creating chances in the last minutes, neither could find a winner, instead, Napoli’s Mario Rui received a red card in stoppage time, compounding their frustration.

The draw leaves Napoli searching for consistency as they continue fight to earn a favourable spot in the Serie A table.
