Outstanding performance
Roma•MidfielderRoma looked in total control after Manu Koné's brace either side of half-time gave them a commanding 2-0 lead, the midfielder finishing clinically from a free-kick-won opportunity and then poaching from close range in the six-yard box. But Inter turned the game on its head almost immediately after the break, with Lautaro Martínez pouncing on a fast break just a minute into the second half to halve the deficit. From there Inter poured pressure on, out-shooting Roma on target down the stretch and creating four big chances to Roma's one missed opportunity, and Martínez was rewarded for his side's persistence with a second goal in the 79th minute, converting from a corner to snatch a point. Roma will rue their profligacy in front of goal despite 18 shots and dominant dangerous-attack numbers, while Inter's ability to grind out a result from a losing position will offer real encouragement for their title ambitions this season.
