Inter Milan has moved to the top of the Serie A league table after capitalizing on a loss by Napoli. Inter claimed the top position by defeating Lazio 2-0 in a match on Sunday. Lautaro Martinez put Simone Inzaghi’s team ahead early, scoring a goal in the third minute.
A second goal, scored in the middle of the second half, secured Inter’s seventh win of the season.
The surprise defeat of defending champions Napoli against Bologna proved to be a key moment in the title race. A strong performance from Thiago Motta’s team handed Napoli a setback. Thijs Dallinga and Jhon Lucumí scored the two goals for Bologna. Although Napoli dominated ball possession, they lacked coordination and were unable to score. Following this loss, Napoli has slipped to fourth place in the league standings. Bologna is now in fifth place, trailing by just one point.
In an earlier match, Roma had briefly taken the first position after a 2-0 victory over Udinese. Lorenzo Pellegrini scored the opening goal from a penalty just before the end of the first half. Zeki Celik added the second goal after the break, continuing Roma’s impressive form under Gian Piero Gasperini. Goalkeeper Mile Svilar made several crucial saves, ensuring that Roma remains a strong contender in the title competition.
