Roma and Inter Milan shared the points in a dramatic Serie A encounter on Saturday evening. The hosts took a commanding lead through M. Kone, but a second-half comeback from Inter secured a 2-2 draw at the Stadio Olimpico.
Kone opened the scoring in the sixth minute before adding a second in the thirty-seventh to give Roma a two-goal cushion. Inter responded immediately after the break when L. Martinez pulled one back in the forty-sixth minute, setting up a tense finale.
The visitors made several changes as the game progressed. Curtis Jones came on for Inter in the fifty-fourth minute, while Roma brought on G. Mancini and L. Balerdi in the second half. Both sides picked up yellow cards throughout, with Barella, Akanji, Bastoni, Ndicka, Koulierakis and Ghilardi all cautioned.
The statistics tell an interesting story. Inter controlled slightly more possession at 51 per cent and created more chances, registering 2.86 expected goals compared to Roma's 1.66. However, Roma were more clinical with their opportunities, converting two of their four shots on target.
Both teams arrived at this match with identical records of four wins and one draw from five games. The result keeps them level on thirteen points, with Roma maintaining their position at the top of the table while Inter remain in second place.
