Milan hosted the central round of the "Serie A" between the teams of "Inter" and "Napoli", when the Naples team, winning, could have escaped even 10 points ahead of the current Italian champions, but missed this opportunity. In a 5-goal thriller, "Inter" triumphed - 3:2. The first to stand out in the match were the footballers of "Napoli". Precise goals were scored by Piotr Zielinski. However, already in the first half, "Inter" managed to turn the score in their favor, thanks to goals by Ivan Perisic and Hakan Calhanoglu. In the second half, the lead was doubled by Lautaro Martinez with a precise shot, and it already seemed that the intrigue was decreasing in this match, but Dries Mertens had his arguments. The Belgian reduced "Napoli's" deficit in the 78th minute. Later, the leaders of "Serie A" created a serious siege at the "Inter" gates. During added time, Mario Rui and the same Dries Mertens had excellent opportunities to equalize the score and take a point from Milan. M. Rui's header was saved by Samir Handanovic, and later the ball hit the goal frame. Meanwhile, the Belgian's shot missed the top of the goal, although the opportunity was great. After these matches, "Inter" reduced their deficit in the league table to the leaders - "AC Milan" and "Napoli" - to 4 points.
