A drama-filled opening 20 minutes saw Napoli concede two goals and have a penalty saved.
Dan Ndoye and Stefan Posch scored headers in a three-minute span for Bologna. That sparked resounding jeers from the home support.
Napoli received a penalty in the 20th minute after Victor Osimhen was fouled by Remo Freuler, but Matteo Politano’s spot kick was parried by Federico Ravaglia.
Bologna have now secured Champions Leage football for next season, while Napoli have officially failed to qualify for any continental competition.
