McTominay Stuns San Siro as Inter Drop Points in Fiery Napoli Clash
Good evening and what a dramatic night it was in Serie A as Inter Milan and Napoli played out a tense 2–2 draw at San Siro, a result that could have serious consequences in the title race.
Inter came into this match as league leaders, knowing a win would open up real daylight at the top. And they started like a team on a mission. Inside the first ten minutes, Federico Dimarco struck early, bursting forward and finishing from a tight angle to ignite the home crowd. At that point, it felt like Inter were in control.
But Napoli did not panic. They stayed compact, waited for their moments and one man in particular made the difference. Scott McTominay, who continues to grow into a key figure for Napoli, arrived late into the box midway through the first half and powered home the equaliser. Suddenly, the match had a very different rhythm.

The second half brought even more drama. With just under twenty minutes to go, Inter were handed a lifeline. A foul in the box led to a penalty and Hakan Çalhanoğlu stepped up. He hit it with force, the ball crashing in off the post. Inter were back in front and San Siro believed that might be the decisive moment.
But the story did not end there. The penalty decision sparked fury on the Napoli bench and manager Antonio Conte was sent off after an angry reaction. Even so, Napoli refused to fold. Nine minutes from time, McTominay struck again. One touch, clean and precise, guiding the ball into the corner and silencing the stadium. It was a moment of real composure under pressure.
At the final whistle, it finished 2–2 and the result leaves plenty to talk about. Inter remain top of the table, but instead of pulling five points clear, their lead stays tight. That keeps AC Milan and others firmly in the hunt and it adds pressure ahead of their next fixture.
For Napoli, this draw feels like a statement. Taking a point away from the league leaders, even after losing their coach on the touchline, shows resilience and belief. They move up to third place, level on points with Roma and very much part of the title conversation.
As Serie A moves into its next round of matches, this game could be remembered as a turning point. Inter missed a chance to break away and Napoli proved they can go toe to toe with anyone. That’s all from San Siro tonight, but the title race is very much alive.
