Napoli laid siege throughout and wasted numerous chances, but were surprisingly held by relegation strugglers Palermo on Diego Lopez’s debut.
It was an extraordinary baptism of fire for the fourth Coach of the campaign, but Lopez and his men held out under dozens of shots and crosses.
Ilija Nestorovski ended his goal drought with the opening header just six minutes in.
Goalkeeper Josip Posavec was hero with several crucial saves and also villain, as ultimately it was his howler that allowed Dries Mertens to equalise.
