The season that will be talked about for a long time got another dramatic act, a Sunday that will be remembered, in the penultimate round. Inter waited for Napoli's blunder, but failed to achieve the victory that would have brought them to the top of the table before the last 90 minutes of Serie A.

Antonio Conte's team played out a goalless draw at the Tardini against Parma, while the reigning Italian champions led twice against Lazio, but in the end had to settle for a 2-2 draw and the fact that they enter the final round a point behind Napoli.

There have been many matches between Lazio and Inter that have resolved the Scudetto issue in various ways, and this time, fans of the Milan club will remember Pedro - the former European champion with Barcelona crushed the dreams of the "Nera Rossa" with two goals.

Napoli will face Cagliari in the match for their second title in the last three years, while Inter will play away against Como and hope for another setback for the team from southern Italy.

Inter took the lead at the end of the first half with a goal by Jan Bisek, Pedro equalized in the 72nd minute in the chaos that ensued after our Adam Marušić's shot, but just eight minutes later the scoreboard at the "Meaci" once again showed the advantage for the home team - the hero was once again Denzel Dumfries.

And when it seemed that Inter was heading towards taking the lead, Bisek incomprehensibly played with his hand in his own penalty area, and Pedro was ruthless once again from the penalty spot in the 90th minute.

Practically at the same time at the "Tardini", Daniele Doveri awarded a penalty for Napoli in stoppage time, while at the "Meaci" Marko Arnautović scored, but both decisions were overturned by VAR.

The evening in Italy, but in the lower part of the table, was also marked by Montenegrin footballer Nikola Krstović, who was involved in another goal for Lecce. The "Falcon" striker passed to Ilber Ramadani, and the Albanian footballer tore the net for an important victory against Torino (1:0).

The club from "Via del Marea" celebrated after 13 rounds and is now above the relegation zone, but with the same number of points as Empoli, who is below the line.

Krstović was injured and left the game in the 59th minute, which could be worrying news for Montenegro ahead of their World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic in June.

Another Montenegrin was on the field, but only for a few minutes - Vasilije Adžić came on in the 92nd minute in the match in which Juventus defeated Udinese (2:0) and before the last 90 minutes held fourth place - the last one leading into the Champions League.
