Inter Milan credits its victory to its captain, Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez, who provided the assist for defender Janek Zek (6') and scored the second goal in the 38th minute. This came after clashes between Inter and Genoa fans an hour before the match, which ended in a 2-1 win for the 'Garter Snakes'. Sassuolo did Inter a favor by drawing 2-2 away to their city rivals, allowing 'Nerazzurri' to seize the top spot. Inter also benefited from reigning champions and former co-leaders Napoli losing 0-1 to Udinese in the 15th round of the Italian football championship.
