Soccer Recaps
Brescia 1, Napoli 1
December 9, 2000
In the Saturday night clash between Brescia and Napoli the visitors had to battle back from behind to earn a share of the spoils in a pulsating 1-1 draw.

Napoli started the better of the two teams and had a number of chances to break the deadlock without success.

Claudio Bellucci should have opened the scoring with two clear-cut chances and he and team-mate Claudio Husain were denied by the brilliance of Brescia's former Newcastle United goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek.

Against the run of play, but to the delight of the home fans Brescia took the lead when Stefano Diana found himself in unfamiliar territory.

The defender was given time and space in the box and beat the dispairing dive of Napoli goalkeeper Francesco Mancini for the opening goal of the game.

Undeterred, Napoli, after the interval, searched for the equaliser and it eventually came in the 57th minute.

Experienced midfielder Fabio Pecchia at last beat Srnicek with a 30-yard piledriver to level the match.

Brescia immediately tried to hit back through veteran striker Roberto Baggio who rattled the woodwork with a powerful drive in a game that eventually finished 1-1.
