Absolutely! Boss! With passion and heart in the face of misfortune and… VAR, and with Napoli taking a two-goal lead, Inter had to work really hard. But they never gave up the fight or the hope that they remain the best team in Italy. And with that mindset, they came back from a 2-0 deficit in the 53rd minute to secure an astonishing 3-2 victory by the 90th minute.
Napoli stunned the defending champions in the opening minutes of the second half, forcing them to make a massive effort to turn things around and secure a result in the derby.
Inter dominated and controlled the first half, hitting the crossbar with a direct free kick by Dimarco just before halftime, but the “San Siro” went completely silent—and in fact, it happened twice within three minutes at the start of the second half.
Following a poor build-up and a prolonged attack in the 50th minute, Politano made it 1-0 with a tap-in, while in the 53rd minute, with a tremendous left-footed shot that went under an opponent’s legs and found the corner of Martínez’s net, he made it 2-0.
The response was immediate from the “Nerazzurri,” with Dimarco delivering a spectacular assist from the far post to Lautaro’s header, making it 2-1, with Kivu’s players once again shifting the entire game toward Meret’s goal. Touré, who had come on as a substitute in the second half, seemed to be merely… sending a warning with a header that hit the crossbar; he sought the goal, sometimes in the wrong ways, but was ultimately rewarded. In the 82nd minute, off a cross from Carlos Augusto, he delivered a powerful header to make it 2-2!
The derby was now wide open for both rivals, with Inter pushing for a comeback with renewed confidence, while Napoli found openings to threaten, and in the 89th minute, they missed an unbelievable chance with an open net. And after that player missed, Lautaro wasn’t going to make the same mistake. In a sustained attack in the 90th minute, Inter’s Argentine captain moved into sole possession of third place on the club’s all-time scoring list, making it 3-2 with another header, sending the “San Siro” into a frenzy!
