The Serie A Title Race is becoming more electrifying as both Napoli and Inter Milan clinched vital wins, intensifying the competition for the coveted Scudetto.
Napoli’s Commanding Performance Against Hellas Verona
Napoli extended their lead at the top of Serie A with a 2-0 victory over Hellas Verona. The match saw an early own goal from Verona’s goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo and a second-half strike from Frank Anguissa.
Napoli now tops the league with 47 points, four ahead of Inter Milan, who have two games in hand, and five ahead of Atalanta.
Inter Milan’s Resilient Win at Venezia
Inter Milan climbed to second place in Serie A with a narrow 1-0 victory over Venezia, courtesy of an early goal by Matteo Darmian. The match’s decisive moment came in the 16th minute when Lautaro Martinez’s low volley was saved by Venezia’s on-loan Inter goalkeeper Filip Stankovic, only for Darmian to capitalize on the rebound.
Despite Venezia’s resilience and aggressive second-half play, including a close attempt that hit the post, Inter managed to maintain their lead until the end. This victory keeps them in the Serie A Title Race, as the season gets tougher.
