Denzel Dumfries saves Inter Milan in Monza, but is overtaking Napoli
A point in extremis, some not very encouraging signs.
Inter rescued by Denzel Dumfries in Monza, but no longer leading Serie A. In fact, the Nerazzurri don't go beyond the 1-1 in the land of Brianza, obtained, moreover, in a comeback a few seconds from the 90th minute of a match characterized by many errors under goal. This result allows Antonio Conte’s Napoli to climb solitarily to the top of the standings on 9 points. At -1 the team of Simone Inzaghi to which però they make company also Juventus and Torino.
L'Inter started the match better, with Dimarco immediately dangerous taking advantage of an erroneous disengagement by Maldini and Lautaro Martinez taking a header but missing aim. Monza waits and restarts, but does not seem able to trouble Sommer. On the contrary, to go to the conclusion are once again the guests with Frattesi and Pavard: also in their case the ball ends up on the bottom. Only at the end of the half comes a thrill from the other side, but Bondo is bricked.
At the beginning of the resumption Monza seems more courageous, but there is a lack of conclusions on goal. Thuram then takes care of it, also inaccurate. Turn of changes for Simone Inzaghi, which però do not shake Inter. On the contrary, the amount of chances also dropped, so much so that it was the Biancorossi who came close to taking the lead with Djuric.
The match seems destined to end without goals, but in the last 10 minutes everything happens. In fact, at 81'81' Monza scores, thanks to Dany Mota who takes advantage in the best way of a restart ended with the winning header on an assist from Izzo. Immediately forò Inter poured forward, and already at 88'88' Dumfries equalized taking advantage of a loose ball in the area on the initiative of former Carlos Augusto. Even Frattesi could sign the overtaking goal, but it ends with a draw that highlights the Nerazzurri's far from scintillating evening.
