Inter Milan climbed to the summit of the Serie A standings on Saturday, October 10, 2026, by defeating Parma 3–0 at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, HARIAN DISWAY reported. Cristian Chivu’s side capitalized on early pressure to secure their fourth home victory of the domestic campaign.
Petar Sucic and Hakan Calhanoglu Strike Early
Petar Sucic broke the deadlock for the hosts in the 13th minute before Hakan Calhanoglu doubled the advantage five minutes later from the penalty spot. Marcus Thuram then sealed the 3–0 scoreline with a 31st-minute finish that left the visiting defense with little recourse.
The statistical dominance reflected the scoreline. The match statistics noted that Inter limited Parma to just nine total shots, with an expected goals (xG) tally of only 0.30 for the visitors. Out of those attempts, only two troubled Inter goalkeeper Josep Martinez, who earned a 7.5 rating for his quiet afternoon between the posts.
Table Leadership and Historical Milestones
The three points lifted the Nerazzurri to 16 points from six matches, putting them ahead of challengers like AS Roma and Lazio, who sat on 13 points ahead of Sunday fixtures. The victory marked Inter’s sixth outing without a defeat to start the domestic schedule.

The triumph also placed the club into rare historical territory. HARIAN DISWAY records show that Inter won their opening four home fixtures of a Serie A season for the third time in the last 35 years. Furthermore, Thuram became the fifth Inter player who was able to score in six home Serie A appearances in a row.
Tactical Depth Under Cristian Chivu
With Sucic adding his name to the scoresheet, Inter boasted 10 different goalscorers in Serie A this season—tied with Brighton for the most among teams across Europe’s top five leagues. Chivu’s squad maintained their attacking output despite navigating a tight schedule following the international break.
Parma arrived at San Siro under the newly appointed Alberto Gilardino, who took charge following the departure of Carlos Cuesta. Gilardino faced an uphill battle managing a squad that had dropped four consecutive away matches stretching back to the previous campaign.
Unresolved Questions in the Title Race
While Inter secured their domestic position at the top of the table on Saturday evening, the wider standings remained fluid. Sunday fixtures involving AS Roma against Como and Lazio against Monza carried the potential to level the points tally at the summit if the capital clubs secured victories.
