Inter Milan emerged victorious at the Stadio Olimpico, edging out Roma 1-0 courtesy of Ange-Yoan Bonny's early goal. This win provisionally propels Inter to the top of Serie A, capitalizing on goal difference.
The high stakes were evident from the outset, with Lautaro Martínez receiving a booking as early as the fourth minute for a foul on Wesley. Despite the intensity, neither team managed to create a clear-cut scoring opportunity in the initial stages, setting the tone for a tightly contested match.
Ange-Yoan Bonny broke Roma's offside trap and capitalized on the opportunity, beating Mile Svilar with a well-taken shot to score the opening goal just six minutes into the match, despite appearing to anticipate a flag for offside.
Bryan Cristante's header flew agonizingly close to equalizing for Roma, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan's opportunity to double the Inter's lead slipped away.
The Giallorossi showed signs of frustration and disarray, but they managed to avoid conceding a second goal. As the game progressed, Roma began to push forward, attempting to cause problems for Inter and create scoring opportunities.

Evan Ndicka's corner kick header sailed wide, adding to Atalanta's frustration as they struggled to breach the packed defense. Despite intricate play, Gian Piero Gasperini's side couldn't find a way through the wall of Inter defenders.
Inter posed a significant threat on the counter, highlighted by Denzel Dumfries' denied effort shortly after the restart. The team's attacking prowess was evident, and they looked menacing whenever they gained possession and transitioned quickly.
Yann Sommer made crucial saves to deny Paulo Dybala and Mario Hermoso, preserving Inter's clean sheet. Later, he also held Matias Soulé's shot, showcasing his exceptional goalkeeping skills.
As the match neared its end, Inter's players had their chances to seal the win. Alessandro Bastoni's attempt was deflected wide, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan's late effort grazed the post. Despite the tension, Inter held on for the win, securing their sixth consecutive victory and joining Napoli and Roma with 15 points.
AC Milan can potentially take the lead in the Serie A standings if they secure a win against Fiorentina in their upcoming match on Sunday. Meanwhile, Inter Milan will savor their current position at the top.
Roma aims to bounce back quickly from their recent defeat, having lost two of their last three matches across all competitions. This loss has heightened the importance of their upcoming match against Inter Milan.
