Inter beats Napoli and retains first place

Nothing has changed at the top of the Serie A table after the 27th round - Inter is still the leader, Napoli is a point behind after a fiery draw in their duel at the "Diego Maradona" stadium.

In Naples, it was 1:1 in a clash in which Inter led until the end, the "azure" dominated and did everything to avoid defeat - they succeeded in doing so in the 87th minute when Philip Billing scored the second goal of the current champion.

Inter had the lead from the 22nd minute when Federico Dimarco scored a masterful free kick., but from that moment on, almost everyone on the field wondered about Antonio Conte's squad.

Romelu Lukaku had two great chances to equalize in the first half (one of which was saved by Alessandro Bastoni), and the second half was played only in the visitors' half.

Inter resisted for a long time and guarded Josep Martinez's goal, but in the final moments they were unable to prevent Napoli from equalizing.

Stanislav Lobotka then passed down the left side, set up Billing - his shot was first saved by Martinez, but from the penalty spot the Dane knew how to set up the final score..

Napoli had their last chance to triumph and return to first place in the 95th minute - Lautaro Martinez somehow blocked Scott McTominay's shot, then Denzel Dumfries blocked Cyril Engonjo's attempt.

The score remains 1:1, so Inter has 58 points, one more than Napoli, and three more than Atalanta, who drew against Venice earlier today.
