A last Boulaye-Dia goal gave Lazio a 2-2 draw against Napoli, who runs the risk of being beaten on the top position after he hadn't called a victory.
Napoli, now at 56 points, are two points above Inter, which they can jump if they beat Juventus on Sunday. Lazio remains fourth, although it also runs the risk of the triumph in the Allianz Stadium.
Gustav Isaksen placed Lazio in the front after six minutes and scored the earliest Serie A goal against Napoli this season, with an excellent shot from a distance.
Napoli, however, was back on level only seven minutes later, when Giacomo Raspadori Nootmegde Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel after playing a two with Romelu Lukaku.
The visitors took the lead in the 64th minute and benefited from Adam Marusic's own goal, who was a pity to drop off the bent Raspadori strike.
However, Lazio fought to the end and made sure that they would take more points from Conte's silk, because DIA supplied his first goal as a replacement since November 2022 and sent a low shot in the far corner.
