Yet another refereeing error in their favor is not enough for Inter to get the better of league leaders Napoli. A match that risked being seriously affected by the usual incomprehensible topic of the referee on duty, on this occasion Mr. Mariani, who with the score set at 1-1, after goals in the first half by McTominay and Calhanoglu, in the 72nd minute concedes a borderline penalty for a non-intervention by Anguissa on Dumfries. But this time justice wanted the first error from the spot by Calhanoglu who sent the ball to the post and did not alter a balanced challenge.
A draw that ultimately smiles on Juventus and the other teams that populate the upper quarters of the table. Now the Bianconeri are only two points away from the top still occupied by Napoli on 26. They are followed by Atalanta, Fiorentina, Inter and Lazio on 25 and, indeed, Juventus on 24.
