Inter Milan had a hard time beating Genoa 1-0 in the 26th round of the Italian Serie A, and this success allowed them to at least temporarily overtake Napoli for first place in the standings, before the Neapolitans' visit to Como today.
Simone Inzaghi's team, who is deprived of their starting goalkeeper Jan Sommer for a month due to injury, had the upper hand in the match, but had to wait an hour until the 78th minute before imposing their will on the Genoa team, led by Patrick Vieira.
The winning goal for the "nerazzurri" was brought by captain Lautaro Martinez, who headed into the visitors' goal.
In the next round, Napoli and Inter will have a direct duel for first place.
