Defending Italian Serie A champions Inter Milan were held to a 1-1 home draw with league leaders Napoli on Sunday.
Napoli's Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay scored the opening goal at Milan’s San Siro stadium after 23 minutes.
But Inter's Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu scored a stunning goal from long range near the end of the first half to equalize.
Inter were awarded a penalty in the 71st minute but Calhanoglu, who took a powerful penalty kick, hit the goal post. It was the first time that the 30-year-old missed his penalty for Inter.
