Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri felt defeat to Napoli came via individual errors.
Pedro's volley had cancelled out the Lorenzo Insigne opener, but in injury time Fabian Ruiz struck for the 2-1 win.
Sarri said, “It was a good performance, we dominated the first half and our regret was only being at 0-0. That means we went behind, got back on track, but then were punished by a naïve error at the 93rd minute.
“We went to triple up the marking on the wing, allowing them to counter and we were badly set out in defence.
“However, if you think that three months ago Napoli were untouchable for us, but tonight we were on more than level terms and had more scoring opportunities than they did."
He added, “We had 10 minutes of total confusion against Porto after going 2-1 down. This time we used Luis Alberto in a more central role, which is a calculated risk, but the naïve error was trying to close down a player who was on the wing and let him get away. There were 40 seconds left, just foul him and give away a free kick from there."
