on

‎Serie A delivered a weekend full of drama, goals, and pivotal moments that are shaping the race at both ends of the table.

‎From Inter’s stunning recovery against Pisa to Juventus’ statement win over Napoli and Como’s record-breaking performance, here’s a full breakdown of all the major matches and narratives.

Inter Turn a Two-Goal Deficit into a Thrilling Victory Over Pisa

‎Inter Milan stunned fans at the San Siro on Friday after overcoming a 2-0 deficit to demolish relegation-threatened Pisa 6-2.

‎The visitors, fighting for survival at the bottom of the table, initially shocked the Serie A leaders with two goals from Stefano Moreo. Pisa’s opener came thanks to a rare mistake by Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer, compounding their early advantage.

‎However, Inter responded spectacularly. Piotr Zielinski converted a penalty, while Lautaro Martínez and Francesco Pio Esposito both scored with headers within six minutes just before halftime, flipping the scoreline in the hosts’ favor.

‎The second half saw Inter miss several opportunities to further extend their lead, but Federico Dimarco eventually scored eight minutes from time.

‎Late strikes from Ange-Yoan Bonny and Henrikh Mkhitaryan added polish to the final score.

‎With this victory, Inter moves to 52 points, six ahead of second-placed AC Milan. Pisa remains at the bottom on 14 points, struggling to climb out of the relegation zone.

Como Stuns Torino

‎Como continued their incredible form in Serie A, following up their 5-1 victory over Torino in November with an even more emphatic 6-0 thrashing on Saturday.

‎Anastasios Douvikas led the charge with a brace, while Martin Baturina, Lucas Da Cunha, Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn, and Maxence Caqueret also found the net for Cesc Fabregas’ side.

‎This win propelled Como to fifth place with 40 points, just outside the Champions League spots and setting a club record for points in Italy’s top flight. The Swiss-border club is proving to be one of the league’s most entertaining and surprising sides this season.

‎Juventus Outclass Napoli with Jonathan David in Top Form

‎Canada’s Jonathan David continued his resurgence as Juventus produced a stunning 3-0 win over defending champions Napoli on Sunday.

‎David scored his third goal in four matches, playing a key role in helping Juventus get the better of Antonio Conte’s side, with Luciano Spalletti now coaching Napoli.

‎David’s goal came midway through the first half after expertly chesting down a Manuel Locatelli pass and finishing clinically. Khephren Thuram and Francisco Conceicao had earlier chances for Juventus, while Napoli struggled to respond.

‎Filip Kostic and Kenan Yildiz added second-half goals, cementing Juventus’ dominance.

‎This defeat dropped Napoli from third to fourth place, level on points with Roma, who drew 1-1 with AC Milan.

‎Juventus, meanwhile, climbed to fifth, showing signs of strong momentum under their current setup. David’s form couldn’t come at a better time, with the Canadian star preparing for a home World Cup later this year.

Milan Held at Roma, Lukaku Returns for Napoli

‎AC Milan were held 1-1 by Roma, dropping five points behind Serie A leaders Inter Milan.

‎Koni De Winter gave Milan the lead with a well-executed set play, but Lorenzo Pellegrini leveled for the hosts with a penalty after a handball by Davide Bartesaghi. Despite remaining unbeaten since their opening loss to Cremonese, Milan saw Inter extend their advantage at the top.

Sassuolo edged Cremonese 1-0 to stay in mid-table.
