Marvellous goal from the Inter full-back in the first half, the home side equalised in the 87th minute through Billing: Inter remain top of the table


The big match at the 'Diego Armando Maradona' between Napoli and Inter ended 1-1, with the top of the table remaining unchanged, following Atalanta's draw against Venezia. It was a difficult game for the Nerazzurri, who lost Calhanoglu and Dimarco during the course of the game. Dimarco was the one who put Inter ahead in the first half with a spectacular free-kick, a perfect left-footed shot just under the bar. Napoli reacted and continued to push, after being behind for the whole game, and found the equaliser in the 87th minute through Billing.

A fiercely contested match, with very intense clashes: Inter draw 1-1 at the Maradona against a very aggressive Napoli side. Dimarco’s brilliant free-kick in the first half wasn’t enough for the Nerazzurri: in the latter stages, the Partenopei equalised through Billing despite Inter’s resilience.
