Report<\/b><\/h2>\n

Dimarco\u2019s Instant Impact<\/b><\/h3>\n

Not even 10 minutes in, and Inter got the opening goal at the San Siro. Academy graduate Federico Dimarco scored from a difficult angle off a Marcus Thuram assist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fluid football for McTominay to clap back<\/b><\/h3>\n

Conte\u2019s men had to get one back for the team. With a move that started in the 25th minute, Scott McTominay capitalized on an equalizer from Elmas\u2019s pass. The Serie A MVP is having another top season in Italy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wrong place, wrong time for Rrahmani<\/b><\/h3>\n

In the second half, both teams contested for the win. A break came for the hosts in the 70th minute when Rrahmani made a tackle on Henrikh Mkhitariyan, which won Inter the penalty after being reviewed by VAR.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Red for Conte<\/b><\/h3>\n

Conte contested the decision, making his anger known to the on-field referee and the touchline ref as well. He got a red card and is banned from his touchline duties for two games, when Napoli plays Parma and Sassuolo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Calhanoglou gets the lead back<\/b><\/h3>\n

Soon after winning the pen, it was only a matter of time before Calhanoglou blasted one in the opposition\u2019s net. Vanja had no answers to the Turkish number 10\u2019s spot kick. Inter got their lead back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Super-sub Noa<\/b><\/h3>\n

Noa Lang was brought on after the one-hour mark as a replacement for Sam Beukema, and it didn\u2019t take him long to create an immediate impact. From a difficult cross off of Matteo Politano, the Dutchman not only kept the ball in, but played it in like a peach of a delivery for Scott McTominay for him to find the bottom corner of Sommer\u2019s net.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Scotty at the Double<\/b><\/h3>\n

Serie A MVP, Scottish Royalty Scott McTominay has established himself as a Napoli legend. With a brace against Inter, he sealed one valuable point for his team at the San Siro.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
