Overview
- Inter defeated Como 2-0 at San Siro on Sunday with Pio Esposito scoring in the 12th minute and Kylian Thuram doubling the lead in the 19th minute, a result that pushed Inter to second place and one point behind Lazio.
- Milan eased immediate pressure by beating Genoa 2-1 at the Ferraris, a home league win that featured goals from Cisse and Pulisic and renewed public scrutiny of coach Ruben Amorim’s consistency after poor European form.
- Napoli announced a squad retreat and cancelled Massimiliano Allegri’s scheduled press conference as the club responded to a run of bad results and reported locker-room tensions while managing a depleted roster of available players.
- Serie B shifts included Pisa drawing 2-2 with Sudtirol, Cesena beating Catanzaro 1-0, and Modena moving up to second place, changes that altered playoff positioning ahead of the break.
- The weekend’s results tightened the top of Serie A and leave several coaches and players under pressure during the international pause, a pause that will freeze momentum and shape team choices and transfer discussions when play resumes.
