Rome, April 22

Inter Milan’s Champions League qualification hopes slipped further away following a 0-0 draw at Fiorentina on Sunday.

Sixth-placed Inter closed the gap on third-placed Lazio to five points but having played a game more.

And it could have been worse as Fiorentina missed a penalty in a lacklustre affair.

On Saturday Napoli kept alive their Champions League qualification hopes and ended a run of three straight defeats with a 2-0 win over Novara, who remain second bottom.

Edinson Cavani and Paolo Cannavaro scored the goals that moved the southerners up to fifth and three points off Lazio.

Udinese’s troubles continued as they drew 0-0 at Chievo to remain fourth and two points behind Lazio.
