The big clash between the two top teams does not disappoint: in the fifth week of Serie A, the super challenge between Roma and Inter ends 2-2. Six minutes are enough for the home team to take the lead: a cross from the right by Dybala, a header from Molina and Manu Koné, with his right, hits the ground hard and beats Martinez for 1-0.
Coach Chivu's team tries to react after the goal conceded. Bastoni (post) and Lautaro (a penalty shot on the move shot high) come very close to equalizing, but after half an hour of play Gasperini's team scores again. Action very similar to that of the first goal: Dybala crosses into the area and finds Mancini: the defender touches the ball and Manu Koné scores again with a powerful shot with his left foot, but Massa immediately cancels it for offside. After a long check in VAR, the goal for 2-0 is confirmed, a result with which both teams go to the locker rooms.
In the second half, the blue and blacks give the first signal: a combination between Thuram and Lautaro, with the Frenchman preparing the action for the left-footed shot that makes it 2-1 in the 46th minute.
The momentum of the match turns in favor of the guests, who after a long but controlled pressure, manage to find the equalizer: again the protagonist Lautaro, who from a corner kick, with the right, takes advantage of Bisseck's deflection and scores the final goal for 2-2. Roma and Inter give a spectacle and remain united at the top of the standings, with 13 points each.
BOLOGNA-TORINO 1-1
A bittersweet debut for Palladino, who could only manage a 1-1 draw against Torino. Bologna took the lead in the 14th minute thanks to a goal by Bernardeschi, who was accurate in taking advantage of a ball returned by Torino's defense after a cross from Miranda. The Reds fell in the second half and the final equalizer came in the 77th minute with Kulenovic, who was introduced in place of Fitz-Jim. In the Croatian striker's shot, which was not at all elusive, Skorupski made a mistake and practically pushed the ball into the goal himself. Bologna climbed to 2 points; Torino to 4.
UDINESE-CAGLIARI 0-1
It is a Cagliari that continues to dream that secures its fourth victory, the third on the road, in the first five weeks of the championship. Daniel Maldini's goal decides in the 54th minute, after an incredible mistake by the Udinese defense, which was completely unprepared for a pass back by Miller: it was very easy for the Italian striker to pass Okoye and send the ball into the net. The team of the technician Pisacane goes to the quota of 12 points and will enjoy the break in the European zone. The third consecutive defeat for the team of Runjaic, who failed to take advantage of the numerous chances created.
