Scott McTominay scored twice as Napoli and Roma played out a dramatic 3-3 draw in a Serie A Derby del Sole thriller at the Stadio Olimpico. Frank Anguissa opened the scoring with an acrobatic overhead kick in the 26th minute, and McTominay nodded in a second early in the second half. Roma fought back through Matìas Soulè and Leonardo Balerdi, who bundled in a goal from a corner in the 74th minute. McTominay restored Napoli's lead with a low strike from 20 yards seven minutes from time, but Balerdi headed in an equalizer in the final minute to secure a point for Roma.
The result extended Napoli's stuttering start in Serie A, leaving them searching for consistency. McTominay's performance marked a strong return to action following heart surgery, having already scored twice in the Champions League win over Bodo/Glimt.
Roma's late fightback showcased their resilience, with goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini scrambling out a header before Balerdi's decisive contribution. Both teams will look to build on this high-scoring draw in their upcoming fixtures.
