"Serie A" championship start for Milan's "Inter" – challenging.

In the first match of the season, "Inter" drew 2:2 with the "Genoa" team.

Alessandro Vogliaco put the Genoa team ahead in the 20th minute. Soon after, Marcus Thuram equalized the score. The active forward turned the score in favor of the Italian champions in the second half.

However, during added time, the referee awarded a penalty against "Inter." It was converted by former "AC Milan" forward Junior Messias.
