(Reuters) - Napoli's decision to loan Emanuele Calaio to Genoa came back to haunt them on Monday when the 32-year-old scored with a late free kick in a 1-1 Serie A draw costing his owners two points in the race for a Champions League spot.

Third-placed Napoli had taken a first-half lead with Gonzalo Higuain's 13th Serie A goal this season before Calaio curled a left-foot free kick over the wall and in off the post with six minutes left.
