Defending champions Inter Milan fought back from 2-0 down for the third time this season to secure a dramatic draw against Serie A leaders Roma. In a thrilling top-of-the-table match, Manu Kone opened the scoring for Inter in the sixth minute, later adding a second goal in the 37th minute. Lautaro Martinez equalised for Inter within 30 seconds of the second-half restart, and added a second goal in the 79th minute.
Although Inter appeared more likely to find a winner, both teams held firm to secure the points and maintain their unbeaten starts to the season after five league games. Across Italy, fans paid tribute to Sandro Mazzola, a legendary Inter forward who won four Serie A titles, two European Cups, and the 1968 European Championship.
Roma almost dominated the game, with Nahuel Molina's header nearly giving their side the lead, but Inter equalised through Curtis Jones' shot that hit the post and Manu Kone's crucial double. Inter conceded just their second goal of the season after half-time, when Martinez saved a potential third Roma goal with a head. The result sees Inter second on goal difference, while Roma remain in the top spot after only winning two of their last 18 meetings against Inter.
