First loss of the season, with a pretty frustrating timing.
After Milan's loss yesterday, Napoli came into tonight's game (Sunday) against Inter knowing that any result other than a loss could open some gap over their close rival at the top, but plans aside and reality aside.
The champion achieved a big victory 2: 3 and inflicted a first loss on the leader, who could have escaped to Milan, but missed an opportunity to do so because she faced an opponent who refuses to give up the championship fight this season.
The first goal at San Siro fell in the 17th minute, when Piotr Zilinski gave the visitors the lead.
Inter were not pressured and managed to turn around even before the break thanks to goals from Hakan Celanolo (25) and Ivan Frisic (44).
In the second half Otto Martinez (61) raised the champion to 1: 3.
In the 78th minute, Dries Martens shrank and became the biggest Napoli conqueror in Serie A, but as mentioned it was not enough and the result was maintained until the end.
Now, the two leaders - Napoli and AC Milan - have maintained the status quo at the top with the first ahead of the second thanks to the goal difference and Inter narrowing the gap from them to just four points.
