Analyses
Inter beat Napoli 1-0 and got back on track towards the very first positions in the standings. From the outset, Inzaghi’s team appeared determined to bring home the full result and, driven by a Barella on a big day, imposed his game. Napoli didn’t give up, but they weren’t as brilliant as they were in the last few games before the break. In fact, he failed to put his forwards in the best conditions to try to recover the disadvantage resulting from Dezko’s goal. Excellent match by referee Sozza.
Following this result, AC Milan and Juventus, victorious away from home, recovered three points from the leaders. Now the ranking sees in the lead: Napoli 41; Milan 36; Juventus 34; Inter 33
