Atalanta 1 - 1 Napoli 26th Nov Highlights 2011 Edinson Cavani grabbed a last-gasp equaliser as Napoli salvaged a point from their trip to Atalanta.
It looked like former Napoli striker German Denis was going to punish his former employers with his goal in the 64th minute, but Cavani struck deep into stoppage time to salvage a rather fortunate point for Walter Mazzarri's men.
Atalanta only have themselves to blame for wasting some good chances when they were on top of the game before Napoli's late rally.
Mazzarri left Ezequiel Lavezzi and Christian Maggio out of his starting XI as he rotated his side after the 2-1 win over Manchester City in midweek.
By taking just those two players out of the side, the drop in quality was evident, although the mental and physical tiredness of the midweek Champions League exertions arguably also contributed to a sub-standard Napoli side.
The only moment of danger they created in the first half came when Juan Zuniga's cross curled towards the goal in the 20th minute, but Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consigli was alert and pushed the ball behind for a corner.
The home side were only a touch brighter, although they grew in confidence as the game progressed.
