The hosts took a 1-0 lead in the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico through Miroslav Klose's first-half strike, but Manolo Gabbiadini's equaliser in the 57th minute secured a draw for the holders Napoli.
It was an evenly matched contest, per WhoScored.com, but Lazio would have been eager to take a lead to Naples for the second leg:

The Rome outfit have not won at the Stadio San Paolo since 2009, but will need to break that run if they are to advance to the final.
Juventus and Fiorentina play the first leg of their semi-final on Thursday in Turin with the Serie A leaders the likely victors.
Here are the updated fixtures for the Coppa Italia semi-finals, with all matches available for live streaming in the UK via Sky Go, and in the US via beIN Sports Connect:
| Date | Time (GMT/ET) | Stage | Fixture |
| March 4 | 7:45 p.m./2:45 p.m. | First Leg | Lazio 1-1 Napoli |
| March 5 | 7:45 p.m./2:45 p.m. | First Leg | Juventus vs. Fiorentina |
| April 7 | 7:45 p.m./2:45 p.m. | Second Leg | Fiorentina vs. Juventus |
| April 8 | 7:45 p.m./2:45 p.m. | Second Leg | Napoli vs. Lazio |
Klose broke the deadlock just after the half-hour mark as he converted Felipe Anderson's beautifully weighted through ball as Lazio dominated the first half.
It was a fine finish to a well-worked counterattack from the veteran German striker as the hosts claimed a deserved lead.
However, it did not prove enough to claim the victory, as Napoli equalised in the second half through Gabbiadini's tap-in, set up after good work from Gonzalo Higuain in the 57th minute, per B/R UK's Sam Tighe:
Thus the tie is very evenly balanced ahead of April's second leg, though Napoli surely hold the edge given their home advantage.
Juventus will be looking to make home advantage pay in their semi-final first leg against Fiorentina on Thursday, with both teams in fine form.
Fiorentina, currently fifth in Serie A, have not lost in any of their last 12 games, while Juve's current league form is second to none throughout Europe, per Infostrada Sports:
However, in a cup tie, anything can happen, and it is likely to be a nervy occasion with neither side likely prepared to give an inch away in the first of their two legs.
Paul Pogba will return to the starting 11 having been a substitute against Roma on Monday, per beIN Sports, while boss Massimiliano Allegri is demanding an improved performance from his players, per Goal.com's Harry West:
"We need to improve, as sometimes we lose sharpness and focus. We are still a long way off our objective and have conceded too many goals recently. We also have to improve in our control of the game when in front.
"
The two-legged nature of the Coppa Italia semi-finals makes for an intriguing setup as each side looks to gain the advantage in the opening match.
The last four are all top-quality sides in this year's competition and there is likely to be much more impressive football before the finalists are decided, with Juve looking to take their own advantage on Thursday in Turin.
