In the "Serie A" championship in Italy, eight matches were played on Sunday.
In the highly anticipated Milan derby, "Inter" defeated "Milan" 1-0 with a minimal result and disrupted the opponents' return to the first place in the league table.
Since Turin's "Juventus" had earlier played a 1-1 draw with "Cagliari", the defending champions "Milan" had the opportunity to return to the top, but Diego Milito's goal in the 54th minute shattered those hopes.
In the active first half, "Milan" had several opportunities, with Mark van Bommel coming closest to scoring, hitting the crossbar. After scoring the goal, the "Inter" team withdrew into defense and maintained the winning result. This was already the sixth consecutive victory for Claudio Ranieri's team.
