In the sixth minute, Nicolo Barella put the French striker through on goal, and he calmly placed the ball into the near corner. In the 91st minute, Henrikh Mkhitaryan nearly gave Inter a second when he struck Davide Frattesi's cutback against the woodwork.
Artem Dovbyk headed over from a corner in the 59th minute, giving Roma, who would have been the clear leaders of Serie A if they had won, their best opportunity. Rather, Roma shares the same number of points as both Inter and Napoli. Giovanni Simeone, the son of Atletico Madrid manager Diego and on loan from the Naples club, helped Torino defeat the reigning champions 1-0 earlier on Saturday, causing Napoli to suffer their second defeat of the season. Napoli were missing former Manchester United pair Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay through injury.
