Stadio Olimpico

Inter drop points in the league for the first time this season.

We draw Roma 2-2 at Stadio Olimpico.

We're going to talk about this just really incredible finishing by Lautaro and this pathetic defending, among other things.

I've got Miko and special guest Antonio with us.

I agree with that sentiment.

I think he's been very good before this match.

The way he can handle the ball, he can pass and... is kind of a kind of a fast player as well uh this match was a bit different i think they were much more this is like a this was this classic italian um like heated match the big match and especially this matchup uh roma inter at stadio olimpico it's always this kind of uh I wouldn't say cagey because this was not cagey.

This was a bit of all over the place this match.

They responded with a fantastic surge of energy and found their equalizer.

Just before the half-time interval, in the 43rd minute, a superb strike from Paulo Dybala brought the Stadio Olimpico to its feet.

It was a goal that perfectly encapsulated Roma's fighting spirit, and it sent the teams into the break on level turns.

The second half continued in the same vein, a real back and forth affair.

Very cool.

We left early because we had to go back to Rome to see the Roma versus Atalanta game in Stadio Olimpico.

That was the highlight of the trip.

Highlight of the trip was the was the Italian soccer slash football match in Rome.

Because, of course, in Rome, we will take on Roma, of course.

And in Stadio Olimpico, they started well under Gasperini.

And they have a perfect league record like ourselves.

So forget simply looking at...

Inter fought back from two goals down to beat Udinese 5-3 on Monday, maintaining their perfect Serie A start alongside Roma, who won 2-0 at Torino before Saturday's match between the joint leaders.

Both sides had 12 points from four matches and shared top spots before the encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, while Como are third on 10 points after beating Parma by two goals to one.

Meanwhile in Spain, Real Betis secured a 2-1 win at Villarreal to move third in La Liga and leave their opponents in the relegation zone.

Goals from Cutro Hernandez and Nathan helped Betis claim three points and pull level with Real Madrid after Gerard Moreno opened the scoring for the home side.

Looking at the broader Sarai picture, this Inter victory, combined with other results, paints an interesting narrative.

Just a few miles away, at the Stadio Olimpico, as Roma secured a solid 0-2 win away at Torino FC.

This is exactly the kind of result a team looking to challenge at the top needs to be achieving, grinding out wins on the road, keeping clean sheets.

While Inter were busy providing the entertainment with a goal fest, Roma were quietly and effectively going about their business.
