NAPOLI-ROMA 2-2 | CLASSIC HIGHLIGHTS SERIE A 2025/26
Serie A Classic Highlights: Napoli 2-2 Roma as Marlon scores twice and Alison Santos levels late
This video relives Napoli’s 2-2 draw with Roma with English commentary. The commentary highlights the quality of Roma’s opening move, Marlon’s physical impact, and the defensive displays of Gilardi and Ndicka; a late equalizer from substitute Alison Santos made it 2-2.
- Referee Colombo is handling the game well — The match has great tempo and end-to-end play, and Ndicka’s sliding challenge was well handled.
- Roma’s opening goal was a sensational one-touch move — It came from Ndicka winning the ball physically, followed by quick one-touch football and a brilliant delivery.
- Marlon is hard to handle because he combines pace and strength, even in two-on-one situations — He pushed Rrahmani away and used his speed and physicality to find a way through.
- Bizzarri’s play says a lot about him as a player — Receiving the ball at the edge of his own box and playing out under pressure showed composure and quality.
- Marlon has made a huge impact since joining Roma last month — He scored another brace for Roma in this match.
- Gilardi and Ndicka were outstanding, with Gilardi not putting a foot wrong at the Maradona — Their defensive work was almost faultless.

Then Buongiorno has to run back immediately, but this is a sensational ball and a sensational goal. >> Zaragoza on his full Roma debut with this. It's Marlon. He only joined the club last month. It's now his fourth goal for the club in five outings. Berardi La Rocca Spinazzola Berardi trying on his way through. Di Lorenzo from Napoli moving from right side to the opposite flank and finding Spinazzola. Great ball in. Good job by Cristante touch the ball last and now they got a chance from corner. Elmas to Meret comes. Now Lobotka straight into the arms of Meret. Spinazzola Trying to give it to Hojlund. >> Yeah, trying to feed again Hojlund in his feet. >> Now Marlon putting the pressure here on Rrahmani. Marlon Still with Marlon. Just wide of the post. >> Yeah, you can see why. Cuz he's got pace, BUT HE'S A STRONG BOY AS WELL. LOOK HERE. He's pushing Rrahmani away and here using his pace, his strength and even here two against one able to find a way. >> That was awkward for Bizzarri. He's managed to get away also thanks to the help from Bryan Cristante. Here's Wesley. Bizzarri Still with Bizzarri. SPACE OPENING UP HERE. And Bizzarri fires just wide. >> Yeah, great play by Bizzarri who's receiving the ball at the edge of his own box. This tells you a lot about this player. >> Pellegrini Wesley This is promising for Roma. Wesley Good block. Now Pellegrini. Cristante Celik is screaming for it. Comes to Zeki Celik. Celik has time and space here. Marlon trying to turn. >> He could have done it. >> Vergara Politano Can you feel trademark style from Politano? And Mark Umanor hasn't scored this season. Spinazzola Lobotka Elmas Lobotka driving forward. And Politano Elmas Spinazzola! >> [screaming] >> NAPOLI ARE LEVEL! AND NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME, SPINAZZOLA leaves his MARK AGAINST HIS FORMER EMPLOYERS. GAME ON AGAIN as we HEAD TOWARDS THE INTERVAL. >> From outside the box, yes, maybe there is a deflection from somebody, probably Celik. But this caught Spina by surprise. And this is the equalizer that Conte was looking for from the number 37. >> Zaniolo They're appealing for a handball and a free kick, which they do get Roma as we go into added time. >> Yeah, and then here is Spinazzola asking questions to the assistant referee. >> So, Pellegrini to swing it in for the second minute of added time of the first half. Pellegrini, Mancini Yeah, looking at the referee, then it's going to be a goal kick. He's looking at his watch. Set to bring the curtain down on the first half at 1-1. Milan getting an early goal with Zaniolo's assist. Spinazzola with the leveler, one-time Roma man. And we are back underway. 1-1, which is probably a fair result, isn't it? Hello again, Manuel Pasquali. >> Yes, I think it is. Now it would be interesting Soule is back in the team. Zaragota provided the assist for Mali goal. >> Vergara Root one staff Leon from Napoli. Here's Buongiorno. Spinazzola And they're 50-50. Still with Napoli. Bakayoko, Lobotka. We'll see what Soule's introduction can do for Roma. No Dobvik, no Ferguson, no Dybala up top. No changes at the break from Antonio Conte. >> Yeah, no change. Now Buongiorno has to face Soule, a different player compared to Zaragota. >> Højlund shooting the ball. Still with Højlund. They come here to Gutiérrez. Bakayoko Politano Bakayoko Politano COMES HERE TO SPINAZZOLA. What a clearance. >> Yeah, wonderful save by Svilar. >> They come here to Marlon, one-on-one with Buongiorno. He just overran the ball there. Soule is furious. He was waiting in the middle. And it's Allison who's waiting in the wings now for Napoli. All set for a Serie A debut, it seems. Lobotka Spinazzola Gutiérrez straight at Svilar. >> Yeah, good ball in. Great transition for Napoli. Now Roma will change with San Figueiredo who provide more physical presence in the middle of the park. >> Wesley Marlon Back with Wesley who's fast. Wesley breaking away goes to ground. Penalty. >> Yeah, great job by Marlon sending Wesley into space. Too quick for Rrahmani and here you can see there is a collision in between Wesley and Rrahmani. Think the number 13 who is not looking for the foul, but you can see. >> Total concentration from Marlon. HERE GOES MARLON. ROMA ARE BACK IN FRONT. MARLON WITH ANOTHER BRACE IN ROMA COLORS. >> Simple as that. You need height in your face to beat Milinković-Savić who picked the right corner. But this penalty is almost perfect. Finds the net. And again gives Roma the lead. >> What an impact he's had since joining last month. Here's Allison Santos. Here's Sereba. Still Allison Santos. And Højlund was there trying to bounce, but Svilar just too quick. >> Yeah, not bad from this lad. Great pace. Svilar double save there. Giovanni Now he passed Gilardi. He's been growing in confidence in recent weeks. Now Venturino carrying it forward. Venturino made it all the way here. Venturino took a touch off Matias Olivera. Alison Santos one-on-one now with Mancini. He was on a booking. Alison Santos Indycar Højlund again was just waiting there in the middle of the box. >> What a game.

Didn't put a foot wrong tonight. >> Gilmour Højlund GIOVANNI ALISON SANTOS ON HIS SERIE A DEBUT FOR NAPOLI WITH A LATE LEVELER. >> LET'S SEE FROM HERE. Bulka winning the ball there, finding Gilmour immediately feeds Højlund. Great move by Giovanni here. For a second I thought he was going to strike. No, he hits Alison. The ball goes in between Mancini's legs. No chance for Spezia. >> Made his debut midweek in the cup. Gilardi >> [cheering] >> Simic has Cristante Venturino for Vas Alison Santos still going. Alison Santos Højlund Højlund and Di Canio with that final touch. Giovanni Lobotka Alison Santos, listen to the roar from the Maradona.
