Exited from the Champions League at the round of 16 stage by Atlético de Madrid, Inter Milan wanted to get back into the championship. Leader with 13 points ahead of its runner-up and rival, AC Milan, the Lombard club had the opportunity to take off again by hosting Napoli. The Partenopei who were seventh could come back to seven points from the qualifying places in the Champions League. Very quickly, Lautaro Martinez had a big chance, but Alex Meret was impeccable (13th).

The Neapolitan response came from a shot from Giacomo Raspadori but it was blocked for a corner (32nd). As Napoli gained momentum, it was finally Matteo Darmian who benefited from a delivery from Alessandro Bastoni to score before the break (43rd). A precious advantage for Inter Milan who retained it for a long time, until being supplanted by the helmet hit of Juan Jesus (81st). Finally, the two teams parted in a 1-1 draw which did not help anyone. Naples does not take off when Inter Milan is now fourteen points ahead of its runner-up.
