On the evening, the ninth round of the Italian championship began, and in the first match of it, Genoa's "Sampdoria" crushed "Crotone" footballers with a score of 5-0.

Thanks to another great result, Marco Giampaolo's team has now moved up to fifth place.

However, despite "Sampdoria" scoring many goals, the much-anticipated match was between "Napoli" and Milan's "Inter". These two clubs had not experienced defeats yet and were at the top of the tournament table.

Fans gathered at the "San Paolo" stadium witnessed a fierce battle, but the efforts of the players were not enough to delight them with goals.

Closest to the goal in the first half was the home team's striker Dries Mertens, but his shot was saved by goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, and the match ultimately ended in a 0-0 draw.

So, both "Napoli" and "Inter" continue to remain unbeaten, but a great opportunity to catch up with them has arisen for the defending champions, Turin's "Juventus" footballers, who will face "Udinese" tomorrow.
