Outstanding performance
Inter•AttackerNapoli stunned Inter with two goals inside three second-half minutes, Politano and Højlund capitalizing on quick transitions to put the visitors 2-0 up just after the hour mark. But Inter's dominance eventually told - 63% possession, 29 shots to 16, and 91 dangerous attacks compared to Napoli's 34 painted a picture of a team that controlled territory even while behind on the scoreboard. Lautaro Martínez pulled one back almost immediately, Marcus Thuram leveled things at 82' after coming on at half-time, and then Lautaro struck again in the 90th minute to complete the comeback. For Inter, this result underlines their title credentials and resilience under pressure, while Napoli will rue squandering a two-goal cushion despite a spirited display that briefly had them dreaming of an upset in Milan.
