NAPLES, Italy -- Edinson Cavani extended his goal-scoring streak and salvaged a 1-1 draw for Napoli against Bologna in the Italian league on Monday.
Robert Acquafresca gave Bologna the lead after 14 minutes when he beat Napoli's offside trap and Cavani equalized with a penalty in the 71st after Diego Perez touched the ball with his arm.
It was Cavani's fifth goal in his last four matches. He provided an equalizer in an Italian Cup win over Cesena last week, scored in a victory over Palermo last week and struck twice in a 6-1 rout of Genoa before that.
Napoli is in sixth place, 10 points behind Serie A leader Juventus. Bologna is 16th, four points clear of the relegation zone.
