Vecino had gone close to scoring at the start when he glanced Luis Alberto's free-kick towards goal only for Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo to head over from under his own crossbar.
Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa saw his drive from distance deflected just over for Napoli, who had won eight in a row and 19 of their last 20 in Serie A -- a run that began with a 2-1 victory away to Lazio in September.

It is only the fourth time in 25 Serie A this season that Napoli have failed to win.
They remain overwhelming favourites for the title -- their first since 1990 -- but still have to play Atalanta, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan.
