Inter Milan secured a 3-2 comeback victory against Napoli at the San Siro during the third round of Serie A. After a scoreless first half, Napoli established a 2-0 lead in the second half through goals from Matteo Politano in the 50th minute and Rasmus Hojlund in the 53rd minute. Inter Milan responded with goals from Lautaro Martínez, who scored in the 56th minute and again in stoppage time, and Marcus Thuram, who equalized with a header in the 82nd minute. This victory keeps Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A standings with nine points. Napoli remains in the lower half of the table, now six points behind the leaders following two consecutive league losses. The loss marks the first time since 1942 that Napoli has lost a Serie A match after holding a two-goal lead. Following the loss, Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri cited lapses in concentration and tactical shifts as the cause for the result, describing the match as a demonstration that “football is beyond logic.” Inter manager Cristian Chivu credited the team’s mentality and tactical adjustments for the turnaround. The fixture was also marked by officiating controversies involving referee Simone Sozza and reports of misconduct, including a racist incident denounced by politician Francesco Emilio Borrelli. Amidst the victory, Inter Milan faces potential squad depth issues as defender Federico Dimarco is reportedly in a “race against time” to recover from a mild knee sprain. Discussions ~~following the match~~ have also centered on Napoli’s defensive vulnerabilities ahead of their upcoming Champions League fixture against Arsenal.
