CAGLIARI:
Zito Luvumbo scored late in added time to salvage a 1-1 draw for Cagliari at home to Napoli on Sunday, after Victor Osimhen had given the visitors the lead.

After a scoreless first half with little in the way of chances, Osimhen found the net with a header in the 65th minute which looked enough to take all three points before Luvumbo struck at the death.

Francesco Calzona, who took over as Napoli manager on Monday, has now drawn his opening two games, after the midweek Champions League tie with Barcelona also finished 1-1.

Napoli remain ninth in the standings on 37 points, while Cagliari stay second from bottom with 20 points.
