Overview
- The top‑of‑the‑table clash finished 2-2 at the Stadio Olimpico after Roma went 2-0 up through Manu Kone and Inter captain Lautaro Martinez scored twice to level the game.
- Roma’s second goal was allowed after a VAR review found Kone was behind the line of the ball when Gianluca Mancini flicked on Paulo Dybala’s cross.
- Lautaro Martinez struck 51 seconds after the restart to begin the comeback and volleyed the equaliser in the 79th minute, with Marcus Thuram creating the first goal from a counter-attack.
- Martinez and coach Cristian Chivu stressed the need to improve Inter’s starts, with Martinez saying the first half had to be ‘wiped out,’ while Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini said his side should take confidence from the performance.
- The draw leaves both teams level on 13 points with Roma top on goal difference and reinforces a worrying pattern for Inter of conceding early that could shape tactical work during the international break.
