Inter remain in scudetto race by beating Juve

Very important success of the Milanese club this Sunday at the expense of Juve (1-0), which sees its magnificent comeback come to an abrupt end.

Inter Milan maintained their scudetto dreams by emerging victorious from a burning Italian derby against Juventus (1-0), decided by a penalty from Hakan Calhanoglu just before the break, Sunday during the 31st day of Serie A. The Nerazzurri (3rd), threatened with being ejected from the podium in the event of defeat, were able to respond to the physical challenge imposed for 90 minutes by a dominating Juventus (4th), who multiplied the opportunities but twice touched the amounts. Success had chosen the Inter camp, victorious thanks to an incredible episode of VAR and missed penalty then to withdraw, which lasted seven minutes at the end of the first period.

Bianconero goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny couldn’t do anything on Hakan Calhanoglu’s second attempt (45 + 5th), after stopping the Turkish’s first. The VAR, which had already intervened to show the fault of Alvaro Morata having escaped the referee, had again invited itself between the two shots to signal that the Turin defender Matthijs De Ligt had entered the surface too early. With this prestigious success in Turin, Inter Milan, struggling for a few weeks, is reviving in the title race, remaining three points behind the co-leaders, AC Milan, who plays Monday against Bologna, and Naples , Sunday winner of Atalanta (3-1). The Nerazzurri still have a late game to play in Bologna.
