This 29th day of Serie A was marked by a great display this Sunday evening with Napoli’s trip to Lombardy to face Inter, on the lawn of the Giuseppe-Meazza stadium. As Napoli gained momentum, it was ultimately Matteo Darmian who was able to benefit from a delivery from Alessandro Bastoni to score before the break (43rd). A precious advantage for Inter Milan who managed to keep it for a long time, until being supplanted by the helmet hit of Juan Jesus (81st) to secure a draw (1-1).

In the 58th minute, Juan Jesus came to discuss heatedly with the referee of the match, Mr. Federico La Penna, pointing out the behavior of Francesco Acerbi, Inter Milan player: “It doesn’t suit me, he said to me, ‘You’re a nigger’ and that doesn’t suit me. Here there is a strong symbol (showing the Racism Out patch, editor’s note)”, the Brazilian defender then declared to the Italian referee. To see if the Italian league will take up the matter to launch an internal investigation but in any case the former Roma player took his revenge by equalizing at the end of the match to secure a draw.
