Paulo Dybala saved Juventus from a controversial late penalty on Sunday that led his side to a 1-1 draw at Inter Milan, while Napoli’s perfect start to the season ended with a goalless draw at Roma. Argentine forward Dybala dropped his spot-kick after a minute when he was ruled by Denzel Dumfries to try to clear the ball to Alex Sandro, a decision that angered Inter to the point that Coach Simone Inzaghi was sent off by referee Maurizio Mariani. . His leveler came first after a month with a thigh injury, with the 27-year-old coming in as a substitute in the 63rd minute. “We were up against a very good team and we’re happy with the way the game was going at this point,” Dybala told DAZN.
Juve are sixth on 15 points, alongside Atalanta and Fiorentina, while champions Inter are seven points behind Napoli and city rivals AC Milan in third.
Inter thought they had won the match thanks to a goal from Edin Dzeko, who rolled into an empty net in the 17th minute after Hakan Calhanoglu’s rocket hit the crossbar.
It was another important goal from Dzeko, who won Inter’s 3-1 Champions League win over Sheriff Tiraspol midweek and quickly became a fan at the San Siro after arriving from Roma in the summer.
Juve were lucky enough to get a point, not only because of the manner of the penalty, but because of another tremendous performance.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side offered little in the way of goal threat after Federico Chiesa and Dybala were introduced right after the hour.
Inter, meanwhile, have traditionally been annoyed by being denied a win in their biggest home home match of the season, which they saw as too soft a penalty.
“That was the only way we were going to concede a goal … We ran the game from start to finish, we gave them nothing,” Inzaghi told DAZN.
“I’m not happy because the referee is two meters away, says everything is fine and then called (by VAR) … we deserved more.”
Napoli Run Ends
Napoli’s winning streak ended in eight matches after a draw at the Stadio Olimpico.
Both sides would have been wasting missed opportunities that could have decided a tight, sometimes bad-tempered match between the two rivals in which both coaches were sent off.
Roma boss Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands for dissent with nine minutes remaining, while an unreliable Luciano Spalletti was shown a red card after the final whistle, thought by referee David Massa as sarcastic praise.
It was a good result for Roma, who needed a good performance after a 6–1 defeat at the hands of Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt in the middle of the week.
“It’s a good thing, we came here knowing that Roma wanted to react after Thursday’s loss and they had fans behind them,” Kalidou Koulibaly told DAZN.
