ANSA - Napoli miss chance to seal Champions League spot with Bologna defeat

Rowe scores spectacular late winner for the visitors

Napoli missed the chance to seal their slot in next year's Champions League when they fell to a 3-2 home defeat to Bologna on Monday.
    Antonio Conte's side managed to pull themselves back with goals by Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Alisson after the visitors had gone 2-0 up thanks to a superb strike by Federico Bernardeschi and a Riccardo Orsolini penalty.
    But a spectacular scissor kick in stoppage time by English forward Jonathan Rowe gave Bologna the spoils.
    With two games to go, Napoli remain second with 70 points but they can still be caught by fifth-placed AS Roma, who have 67, and sixth-placed Como, who have 65.
    A win on Monday would have ensured the Naples side a top-four finish and qualification for Europe's premier club competition thanks to their better record in the head-to-heads with Roma.
