Fans' Rating Napoli 1-1 Bayern Munich: Gomez squanders second-half spot-kick for Germans in San Paolo stalemate
The German and Italian sides played out an entertaining draw in Naples, retaining their spots in the top two positions in Champions League Group A

Manuel Neuer's streak of minutes without conceding a goal ended at 1147 on Tuesday, as Napoli came back from a goal behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich in their Champions League Group A clash at San Paolo.
It took less than two minutes for the visitors to take the lead, which came through Toni Kroos. Napoli recovered from a rough opening half hour, however, and drew level as Holger Badstuber redirected Christian Maggio's cross into his own net.
Mario Gomez's second-half penalty could have won the match for the Bavarian giants, but his effort was saved by Morgan De Sanctis, and in the end both sides settled for a share of the spoils.
Bayern's opener came as the unmarked Kroos ghosted to the edge of the penalty area to collect Jerome Boateng's cross before slotting into the lower-left corner.
Though they did not have a shot on target in the first half, the hosts reacted positively and managed to force the equaliser as Maggio was played in behind Philipp Lahm before Badstuber's outstretched leg deflected the ball into his own net.
The visitors had a glorious chance to reclaim the lead within moments of the restart, but failed to capitalise after being awarded a somewhat dubious penalty for handball against Paolo Cannavaro. Mario Gomez, in such superb goalscoring form, took the spot-kick but it was ultimately a rather tame effort and was easy for De Sanctis to save.
Across the evening the hosts failed to put a single shot on Neuer's goal, and seemed content to hold onto their point in the second half.
Bayern looked the brighter side in attack, but poor decisions and a lack of sharpness in and around the penalty area saw them squander a few bright counter-attacking opportunities. There were no late flourishes, and the game ultimately ended with a whimper.
The result sees Bayern retain their position atop Group A with seven points, still two clear of Napoli. The Italians have had their hold of second place slip to just a single point, however, following Manchester City's last-gasp win over Villarreal.
