The result sees Inter climb back into second place, sitting just one point behind league leaders
Early Goals Secure Inter Victory
Inter established control early, effectively neutralizing Como’s momentum with two goals inside the opening 20 minutes. Francesco Pio Esposito opened the scoring in the 12th minute, converting a precise cross from Djed Spence. The lead was doubled shortly after when a defensive error gifted the ball to Marcus Thuram, who fired a powerful strike past goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Despite Como’s attempts to find a way back into the match, they struggled to break down the Inter defense. Federico Dimarco and Thuram both came close to extending the lead in the second half, while Como’s Nico Paz saw a late effort rattle the crossbar. Inter coach Cristian Chivu praised his squad’s maturity, noting that his team successfully pressured the opposition’s build-up play and remained clinical throughout the contest.
Lazio Stumble as Milan Climbs
Elsewhere in Serie A, leaders Lazio dropped points for only the second time this season, managing just a 1-1 draw against a struggling Napoli side. Davide Frattesi had initially put Lazio ahead, but an own goal from Alfonso Pedraza allowed Napoli to salvage a point. Despite the draw, Gennaro Gattuso’s Lazio remain unbeaten in the league.
AC Milan capitalized on the weekend's results, moving into the top four with a 2-1 victory over Genoa. After a disappointing midweek Europa League loss to Ferencvaros, Ruben Amorim’s team responded with a strong start at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Alphadjo Cisse and Christian Pulisic provided the goals that secured the win, despite a late consolation strike from Mikael Ellertsson.
Meanwhile, Juventus continued to face difficulties, settling for a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina. Juventus twice fought back from a deficit, with Nick Woltemade scoring his first Serie A goal and Gleison Bremer capitalizing on an error by goalkeeper David de Gea to equalize. In other action, Atalanta snapped a six-match winless streak across all competitions by securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Monza, courtesy of a goal from Nikola Krstovic.
