The game restarted, and Inter looked the more threatening side, and they were rewarded for their efforts, as Argentine striker Lautaro Martínez scored Inter’s 3rd goal, giving Simone Inzaghi’s men a two goal cushion.
Dries Mertens scored Napoli’s second in the 78th minute to make it 3-2, but that turned out to be a mere consolation, as Inter held on and the referee blew the whistle to end an entertaining game.
