Inter achieved a very important victory in the battle for the Serie A title after beating Juventus 1-0 in the Derby d'Italia of the 23rd round of the championship.
At "San Siro", the hosts were the stronger team and deservedly reached a valuable win. The Nerazzurri's first-half strong display paid off in the 37th minute when Juve centre-back Federico Gatti scored an own goal when he tried to block Marcus Thuram's cross from the right. After the break, Hakan Calhanoglu's powerful shot hit the crossbar and Bianconeri goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny made several strong saves.
In the end, no more goals were scored and Inter won 1-0 against their direct title rival. Thus, Simone Inzaghi's team now has 57 points at the top of the standings, four more than second-placed Juventus, with the Nerazzurri having played a game less than their rival. /BGNES
