Inter Milan had a great opportunity to put Naples at 6 points this Wednesday evening with the reception of Lecce, on behalf of the 16th day of Serie A. Because Naples did not succeed, a little earlier, in getting rid of Parma, conceding a sad 0-0, their third consecutive draw. But Inter also struggled, during a failed first period, where the offensive elements looked more for the penalty than the opponent’s goal.
A little more enterprising in the second, Chivu’s men still came up against the Lecce defense. The Romanian coach successively launched Esposito, Luis Henrique and Lautaro Martinez to make the difference. And it was ultimately the young Italian Pio Esposito who saved Inter from a disappointing draw, by shooting Falcone (1-0, 78th). The main thing was done for Inter, who therefore took the lead over Naples, 3rd, while waiting for AC Milan to also play this match late.
