Fabián Ruiz scored in the second half after Lorenzo Insigne
had another spot kick saved.
Napoli moved four points above fourth-placed Juventus, which
lost at Genoa 2-1 on Friday following two late goals from the home side.
It is five points behind league leader Inter Milan, with two
matches remaining.
Napoli had a great chance to break the deadlock on the hour
mark when Torino defender Armando Izzo tripped Dries Mertens in the area but
Insigne’s penalty was saved.
It was the fourth time this season that Insigne has failed
to convert a penalty.
The visitors did take the lead in the 73rd when Ruiz stole
the ball off Tommaso Pobega in the middle of the Torino half and mazed his way
into the area before drilling into the bottom left corner.
Lazio was looking to boost its chances of qualifying for
Europe when it hosted relegation-threatened Sampdoria later. Sassuolo also
played late against Udinese. -AP
