Match Analysis
Inter Milan emerged victorious against Verona with a dramatic 2:1 win secured in stoppage time during the tenth round of Serie A. The Nerazzurri capitalised on Napoli’s draw with Como the previous day, narrowing the gap at the top of the table.
The visitors nearly took the lead in the seventh minute through captain Lautaro Martínez, but Verona’s defence successfully thwarted the attempt. Inter eventually broke the deadlock in the 16th minute when Hakan Çalhanoğlu delivered a corner, and Piotr Zieliński diverted the ball into the top left corner to make it 0:1.

Equaliser and Missed Opportunities
The hosts responded just five minutes before halftime. Gift Orban set up Giovanni, who lashed a shot into the left corner to restore parity at 1:1. Orban then threatened to complete the turnaround, but his effort struck the outside of the post.
Inter dominated possession in the second half, yet struggled to create clear-cut chances. Verona appealed for a penalty late on, claiming Federico Dimarco had handled the ball in the area, but the referee waved play on.
Dramatic Decider
The match was ultimately settled in the 94th minute when Verona defender Martin Frese attempted a headed clearance, only to inadvertently direct the ball into his own net, handing Inter a crucial 2:1 triumph. There was insufficient time remaining for Verona to mount a response.
Following this result, Inter have drawn level with Roma in second place, both one point adrift of leaders Napoli. Verona find themselves in 18th position with just 5 points.
