The derby of the 12th round of Serie A ended without a winner - Inter and Napoli played to a draw (1:1) tonight at "Meaca", and the table after the match is quite interesting.
Napoli, from the leading position, goes to the representative break and has 26 points. But behind the Neapolitans are Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter and Lazio with 25 points, and Juventus with 24 points. It's been a long time since the situation in the table in the Apennines has been this interesting.
The beginning of the match in Milan took place in the tactical outwitting of Conte and Inzaghi. It seemed that neither team would take any risks, and then in the 23rd minute, a corner was awarded to the visitors - Kvaracheli crossed, Rahmani shot, and Mektominej deflected the ball into the net.
Inter didn't threaten until then, they didn't even have a real chance until the 39th minute, when Acerbi found himself in the opponent's penalty area, shot, and Meret saved.
The home team equalized two minutes before the break, and a great goal from about 25 meters was scored by Hakan Čalhanoglu.
Calhanoglu could have been the absolute hero of "Neroazura", but in the 74th minute he hit the post and missed the penalty.
It was not the first post in the match, since Dimarco also shook the frame of the goal. Barela also had a chance after that, while the visitors had their best chance in the 94th minute, when Simeone shot over the goal from about ten meters away.
