Inter rallies to beat Como 4-3 and moves closer to Serie A title after Napoli
draw
ROME (AP) --- Inter Milan came back from two goals down for a 4-3 victory at
Como on Sunday and extended its Serie A lead to nine points with six rounds
remaining.
Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries each had braces for Inter, which took
advantage of second-place Napoli being held 1-1 at Parma earlier to increase
its advantage.
Alex Valle and Nico Paz scored for Como late in the first half before Thuram
started the comeback with a goal in first-half added time.
Lucas Da Cunha pulled one back with a penalty for Como in the 89th.
The teams will met again in the second leg of the Italian Cup semifinals later
this month after a 0-0 first leg.
It was another encouraging sign for Inter after a 5-2 victory over Roma last
weekend ended a three-match winless streak.
Cristian Chivu is attempting to win Serie A during his first season in charge
at Inter after replacing the departed Simone Inzaghi.
Como dropped from fourth to fifth and just outside the Champions League places.
Napoli concedes after 33 seconds Napoli conceded a goal after 33 seconds in a draw that may end its chances of successfully defending the Serie A title. Scott McTominay equalized on the hour mark for Napoli after Gabriel Strefezza scored early on with a play that began with a long ball from Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. The result ended a five-match winning streak for Napoli. Parma moved nine points above the relegation zone in 14th. Also, Bologna beat Lecce 2-0 with goals from Remo Freuler and Riccardo Orsolini and Genoa beat Sassuolo 2-1 with goals from Ruslan Malinovskyi and Caleb Ekuban. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
