The Serie A standings remain unchanged following the 27th round, with Inter holding onto the top spot while Napoli trails by just one point after an exhilarating draw at the “Diego Maradona” stadium.

The match concluded at 1:1, with Inter initially in the lead until the final moments. Napoli exerted pressure throughout the game, successfully equalizing in the 87th minute when Philip Billing scored for the current champions.

Inter took the lead in the 22nd minute thanks to a stunning free kick by Federico Dimarco., but from that point, it was clear the match was heavily contested by Antonio Conte’s side.

Romelu Lukaku had two golden opportunities to level the score in the first half, one of which was brilliantly saved by Alessandro Bastoni, while the second half saw Napoli dominate possession in Inter’s half.

Despite a solid defense from Inter and a determined Josep Martinez in goal, they could not hold off Napoli in the dying moments of the match.

Stanislav Lobotka made a run down the left, assisting Billing, whose initial shot was parried by Martinez, but the Dane managed to score from the rebound..

Napoli nearly clinched a victory in the 95th minute when Lautaro Martinez blocked a shot from Scott McTominay, with Denzel Dumfries also intervening to stop Cyril Engonjo’s effort.

The match ended at 1:1, leaving Inter with 58 points, just ahead of Napoli by one point and three points clear of Atalanta, who drew against Venice earlier in the day.
