Half-Time Report: Napoli, Lazio level at the break

It is currently level between Napoli and Lazio in their Serie A clash at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples this afternoon.

The visitors opened the scoring in the 21st minute through Senad Lulic, who turned Raul Albiol on the edge of the box before drilling a low effort across Pepe Reina and into the far corner.

Napoli came close to a response when Gonzalo Higuain worked himself some room inside the box and fired in a strike that Etrit Berisha turned around the post.

They threatened again when the ball broke kindly for Valon Behrami on the edge of the box, but his long-range effort went narrowly over the bar, before Lorenzo Insigne blazed an effort wide.

With four minutes of the half remaining Napoli equalised, as Dries Mertens drove through the midfield, before lashing a strike into the top corner and out of the reach of Berisha.
