ROME (AP) — Napoli conceded a goal after 33 seconds in a 1-1 draw at Parma on Sunday that may end its chances of successfully defending the Serie A title.

The result left Napoli six points behind Italian leader Inter Milan, which was visiting Como later with a chance to stretch its lead.

Scott McTominay equalized on the hour mark for Napoli after Gabriel Strefezza scored early on with a play that began with a long ball from Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki.

The result ended a five-match winning streak for Napoli.

Parma moved nine points above the relegation zone in 14th.

Earlier, Genoa beat Sassuolo 2-1 with goals from Ruslan Malinovskyi and Caleb Ekuban.
