Serie A: Lazio slows down and Inter gets closer, Juve equal to Florence

When the going gets tough, Inter remembers that they are the strongest and gives a sound lesson to Como, containing them and overcoming them with merit thanks to Pio Esposito and Thuram, the best on the pitch. He thus gnawed two points for Lazio who equalized with a Napoli who woke up in the second half and gave Allegri some oxygen.

At the national break, the championship becomes more and more interesting: Lazio continues its lead, but Inter and Roma are within a point of each other. An essential AC Milan took over in fourth place and capitalized on Genoa's mistakes, forgetting their poor performance against Ferencvaros. Three points to save Sarri's bench were won by Atalanta at the home of a wasteful Monza. In Florence, Juventus drew 2-2, recovering the deficit twice with a display of character.

In the highlight of San Siro, Inter attacked a staid Como with an asphyxiating pressing, in contrast to all their previous matches. Barella dictates it and the effects are devastating because in 19' it is already 2-0. A Dimarco-Thuram-Spence combination frees Pio Esposito who burns Ramon. Then it's Zielinski who crosses and, following Valle's awkward clearance, Thuram doubles the score. The pressure takes Como's breath away and he limits himself to a sterile dribble. In the second half the guests persisted with a prolonged dribble and the first shot, by Nico Paz and blocked by Martinez, arrived in the 63rd minute while Inter were dangerous with Dimarco and Thuram. Chivu's team is still the team to beat.

A time for one for an equal that in the end doesn't displease anyone, at Maradona. Lazio maintains its leading position and continues to dream. Napoli lays a first brick to rebuild morale, awaiting the recovery of the injured, after the week of the two defeats, the poisons, the withdrawal, the canceled Allegri conference. The relationship with the public is not healed as everyone boos, especially Lang who has the bad idea of ​​arguing with non-offensive but inappropriate gestures. Fear blocks the Neapolitans who give a time to the usual Lazio, solid and proactive. Zaccagni is missing but Noslin asserts himself and opens for Frattesi, a deadly attacker who deservedly gives his team the lead. Napoli wakes up in the second half with the change of position between De Bruyne and McTominay.

The equalizer came through an own goal by Pedraza, then Mandas saved himself with luck and skill. After the break Allegri expects another Napoli. Lazio is always in paradise.

In the evening half-time, Juve confirmed signs of awakening in their personality but did not go beyond the 2-2 draw with Fiorentina, who had not yet found their first victory at the Franchi. Twice behind - first on Pellegrino's header from a corner, then on a melee concluded by Ndour - Juve were dragged by a Kolo Muani in good spirits and at ease in the formula with Woltemade: he offered the German the assist for the first draw, while the second came from a header by Bremer. In the final Vicario saves the result twice, but Juve can complain about a hand in the area by Joao Mario which the referee does not consider punishable.

Amorin's Milan consolidated their position in the Champions League by beating Genoa at home, coming off a long positive streak. The Ligurians attack but the sly Rossoneri take advantage of a double defensive error to secure the result after 19' with Cisse' and Pulisic. Osmajic is inspired but wastes, Genoa are not very concrete and do not sting, the guests control with the consummate skill of Modric and Rabiot. A long range shot from specialist Ellertssoni shakes up the recovery but Milan brings home an important result by taking advantage of the other direct clashes.

Three golden points for a convalescent Atalanta who return to mid-table thanks to the success of former coach Juric's Monza. The Brianza team, with a very young team, attack with their heads down, looking for an opportunity from top scorer Varela. But Sarri's defense resists without suffering too much, then the goalkeeper Tornqvist gives the advantage to Kstovic and the Bergamo players defend carefully, without shining a victory that interrupts the negative series and is a first step towards hoping for a comeback. Monza remains third from last and will have to struggle to save themselves.
