At the end of a spectacular shock at the Giuseppe-Meazza stadium this Saturday, Inter Milan won on the wire against Naples (3-2). After a first period dominated by more threatening Inter players like this free kick from Federico Dimarco smashing the bar (45+4th), the match got totally carried away as soon as we returned from the locker room. In the space of three minutes, Napoli thought of knocking out the locals. Matteo Politano first opened the scoring in two stages (50th), quickly followed by Rasmus Höjlund who doubled the lead with a chained shot from the left (53rd). With his back to the wall, the reigning champion immediately reacted thanks to his captain Lautaro Martínez, author of a reduction in the score full of opportunism on a serve from Dimarco (56th).

Buoyed by paid coaching and an effervescent public, the Nerazzurri turned the match around at the end of the match under the impetus of the entry of Marcus Thuram. After hitting the post, the Frenchman ended up breaking the Neapolitan lock with an unstoppable dive header on a cross from Carlos Augusto (82nd). Galvanized by this equalizer, Inter continued their siege until forcing the opposing defense to give way in the final moments of the match. On a final curled cross from Andy Diouf at the far post, the Neapolitan defense got confused under pressure from Ange-Yoan Bonny. The young Frenchman slipped the ball to Lautaro Martínez who emerged to offer himself a double from the left (89th) and seal the victory for his team at the end of the suspense. Third victory in three matches for Inter who completely overthrew Naples. The Partenopei continue with a second defeat in a row.
