In a match that was of great importance to them, Inter were literally slapped by Roma, thus giving Napoli a chance to move closer to the Scudetto.Inter started strong, testing Roma’s goalkeeper early when Federico Dimarco unleashed a powerful strike from a free kick, but Mile Svilar produced a fantastic save just four minutes into the match. Moments later, Inter thought they had opened the scoring through Davide Frattesi, but his goal was disallowed for offside after a quick decision by the linesman.Roma slowly grew into the game, with Manu Kone firing just over the bar from the edge of the box in the 20th minute. Two minutes later, Roma found their breakthrough — Matias Soule reacted quickest to a rebound inside the box and tucked the ball into the bottom left corner to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. There is the GOAL!🧉#InterRoma 0-1 pic.twitter.com/CA9cX50Fet— AS Roma (@OfficialASRoma) April 27, 2025 The Giallorossi had more chances to extend their advantage: Bryan Cristante wasted a golden opportunity by blasting a lofted pass from Lorenzo Pellegrini high over the bar, and Eldor Shomurodov saw his close-range effort blocked after a scramble in Inter’s box.
