In the past night, Serie A had a number of key battles, and its Chinese rice was upset away and failed to win Genoa. Lazio, on the other hand, came back from behind to beat Frosinoni, and Napoli continued their winless run.
Genoa 1-1 Inter.
Before the game, Lautaro was injured and the Argentine superstar was not included in the squad. The lack of Lautaro has had a huge impact on Inter, and in the face of this promoted team, Inter has not taken much advantage.
With Lautaro sidelined, Arnautovic was given a chance to start, and he lived up to Inzaghi's expectations. In the 42nd minute of the first half, Barella fired a long-range shot at the neutral post, and then Arnautovic broke the deadlock with a follow-up shot in front of goal.
However, before half-time, Inter were still equalised, and the home team won corner kicks again and again, and finally broke the door of Inter. Dragusin's header cleared the net and brought both sides back to the same level.
In the second half, seeing that Inter Milan was unable to rewrite the score, Inzaghi Jr. replaced Sanchez, but unfortunately, this substitution was worthless, and the veteran failed to replace Lautaro's role, and in the end Inter could only upset 1-1 and lost 2 points on Genoa.
Lazio reversed 3-1.
In this round, Lazio played against Frosinoni at home, and also faced the promoted horses, Lazio's performance was much better than Inter. Although the visitors opened the scoring at one point, Lazio were very competitive and then scored three goals in a row to reverse their opponents at home.
Among them, Valentin and Isaksen scored two goals in just a few minutes to put Lazio in the lead, and Patri then added the icing on the cake to seal the win for Lazio. In the absence of Immobile, Lazio collected three points steadily, and Serie A ushered in two consecutive wins, continuing to catch up with the top four opponents.
In addition, Napoli drew 0-0 at home to Monza, and only won 2 of the last 7 league games, Osimhen was suspended, Kvaratskhelia failed to carry the team, and Napoli basically has no hope of defending the title this season. As of now, Inter remain top of Serie A, five points ahead of second-placed Juventus, but if Juve win at home to Roma later on, the gap will close to two points.
As for Lazio, after winning this round, they are only one point behind Napoli and Roma, and they also have renewed hope of fighting for the top four. Because of participating in the Champions League, Lazio's performance in the first half of the season was greatly affected, but fortunately, they successfully qualified from the group, and will go all out to grab points next, hoping to turn the tables and finish in the top four!
