COMO, Italy, May ⁠2 (Reuters) - Defending Serie A champions ⁠Napoli were held to a 0-0 ‌draw at Como on Saturday, a result which means leaders Inter Milan now need just one ​point to secure the ⁠league title.

Inter hold ⁠a nine-point lead over Napoli, who have three ⁠matches ‌left, and a draw at home to Parma on ⁠Sunday would clinch the Scudetto. Como, meanwhile, ​boosted ‌their chances of qualifying for Europe for ⁠the ​first time.

Cesc Fabregas's side are fifth in the standings on 62 points, two ⁠behind Juventus who host already ​relegated Hellas Verona on Sunday and, with the top six guaranteed European football, Como ⁠are eight points ahead of Atalanta in seventh.

Como looked the more likely side to take all three points, with ​keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic coming ⁠to Napoli's rescue on more than one ​occasion, while Matteo Politano ‌hit the post late ​on for the visitors.
