AS Roma
AS Roma and Inter Milan shared the spoils in a pulsating 2-2 draw in Serie A’s fifth round, as the Giallorossi snatched a late equalizer to break Nerazzurri hearts.
Early Pressure from AS Roma
Roma came flying out of the blocks, determined to make their home advantage count. The Stadio Olimpico was rocking as the hosts pressed high, forcing Inter into early mistakes. The Giallorossi’s intensity paid off midway through the first half when Lukaku rose highest to power home a header from a wicked Pellegrini cross.
Inter Milan’s Stunning Comeback
Undeterred, Inter gradually grew into the game, with their midfield trio of Barella, Calhanoglu, and Brozovic starting to dictate play. The equalizer came on the stroke of halftime, courtesy of a thunderous Lautaro Martinez strike from the edge of the box. The Argentine striker then put Inter ahead early in the second half, calmly slotting home after a defensive mix-up.
Late Drama at the Stadio Olimpico
As the clock ticked down, Roma threw everything forward in search of an equalizer. Their persistence was rewarded in the dying moments when Zaniolo unleashed a stunning volley into the top corner, sending the home fans into raptures. Both teams pushed for a winner in a frantic finale, but neither could find the decisive goal.
What This Result Means
For Roma, this hard-fought draw keeps them within touching distance of the top four, showcasing their never-say-die attitude under Mourinho.
