Inter Milan dropped second place in Serie A to Lazio Rome by losing Sunday night at home against Juventus Turin (1-0) at the end of the 27e daytime.
Juventus are getting closer to the Champions League
The Nerazzurri, beaten for the third time in four matches, fell to third place, two points behind the Biancocelesti, winners of the capital derby against Roma (1-0) at the start of the evening. This new setback of the Interists (the 9th of the season) does the business of Naples whose mattress in mind thickens further to 19 points, eleven days before the end of the season.
Juve maintains its dreams of a crazy rise in the Top 4 despite its penalty of fifteen points for accounting fraud. The Bianconeri (7e) are only seven points from fourth place, qualifying for the C1 and occupied by AC Milan, beaten on Saturday in Udine (3-1).
Juve won their victory at San Siro thanks to a cross shot from Kostic (23′), served by Adrien Rabiot after a stint with Dusan Vlahovic (23′). This goal was validated after four long minutes of VAR analysis for possible hands from Rabiot and Vlahovic. Before this goal, Inter had also had chances to open the scoring but Nicolo Barella came up against Wojciech Szczesny twice (3′, 18′).

In the second half, the Milan pressure increased but Simone Inzaghi’s players lacked precision in the last gesture against a solid Turin defense. Juventus almost took advantage of the spaces to make the break, but Federico Chiesa just missed the target (73 ‘) shortly after entering the game. Not varnished, the Italian winger had to leave ten minutes later on injury, caught by the physical glitches that have dogged him for several weeks.
