Inter Milan reclaimed first place in
Serie A with a 2-1 away win over
Genoa at the
Stadio Luigi Ferraris, built on goals from
Yann Aurel Bisseck and
Lautaro Martinez before a late strike from
Vitinha revived home hopes.
Yann Sommer produced several important saves, including on efforts from
Albert Grönbaek and
Caleb Ekuban, while
Davide Chivu managed the closing stages shrewdly by introducing
Marcus Thuram,
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and other substitutes to protect the advantage through more than five minutes of stoppage time. The result underlined Inter’s squad depth and control, with influential contributions from
Nicolo Barella,
Piotr Zielinski and
Stefan De Vrij, and it left the Nerazzurri narrowly ahead of domestic rivals
Milan and
Napoli in the 2025-2026 title race while
Genoa remained stuck on 14 points alongside
Parma in the lower reaches of the table.
