In the 16th minute, they created danger from a tactical corner; Çalhanoğlu delivered the ball to the edge of the box where Zieliński immediately fired a powerful shot to open the scoring in a seamless move. Both teams exchanged attacks afterward, and in the 40th minute, Verona launched a quick counterattack. Giovanni used his exceptional individual skill to break through tough defense and calmly scored to equalize 1-1. In the second half, Inter controlled the tempo but performed poorly. Just as time was running out, in the 93rd minute of stoppage time, Barella’s subtle cross caused chaos in the box, leading to an own goal by Frase. Thus, Inter clinched a 2-1 last-minute victory. Although Inter played poorly, their luck was remarkable, and securing three points was acceptable!

Parma versus Bologna: Parma hosted and scored a lightning-fast goal in the first minute to take the lead. However, Bologna quickly took control and equalized in the 17th minute. In the 35th minute, Parma suffered a major setback when a player received a second yellow card and was sent off. With a numerical advantage, Bologna dominated and launched heavy attacks in the second half, scoring twice more to complete a 3-1 comeback against the 10-man Parma!

Milan versus Roma: This match was a key showdown, with both teams in the top four and contenders for the title. The victory was crucial for the race at the top. Both sides had many chances in the first half, but Milan capitalized on a counterattack when Leão broke through and assisted Pavlović to score, breaking the deadlock. In the second half, Modrić took a corner for Milan, and Nkunku had a great scoring chance but hit the post. Later, Fofana made consecutive errors, gifting Roma a free kick and then a penalty. Unfortunately for Roma, Dybala’s penalty was heroically saved by Maignan. The match ended with Milan winning 1-0, earning vital three points. Milan’s win handed Napoli a big favor, allowing them to remain top of the table!
