JAKARTA - The leader of the Inter Milan standings won an important victory in the away match. AS Roma failed to stop their rivals. In the Italian Serie A duel at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Sunday, February 11, 2024 in the morning WIB, Daniele De Rossi troops were forced to surrender 4-2.

Roma is believed to be able to stop Inter. Especially after De Rossi, the new coach who replaced Jose Mourinho, started the task brilliantly. They won the first two games with the icon.

However, De Rossi lost his strategy to his colleague, Simone Inzaghi, who initiated Inter. While still a De Rossi player, he was identical to Roma. He never left the Giallorossi until before retirement.

Meanwhile, Inzaghi is also synonymous with Lazio, a club also headquartered in the capital and became Roma's eternal rival. Inzaghi also spent his career with Biancocelesti.

After five years playing at Piacenza, he defended Lazio for 11 years despite being loaned out to several clubs. Even Inzaghi started his coaching career at Lazio.

Inzaghi also again showed good performance when serving Roma who acted as the host.

Superior first but then left behind, but Inzaghi remained calm. Likewise, his troops did not panic so they turned things around to win the match.

The result made Inter strengthen their position at the top of the standings by pocketing points 60. Inter were also seven points ahead of Juventus who were in second place, while AC Milan, who was in third place, had 49 points.

Meanwhile, Roma failed to penetrate the Champions League zone. With 38 points, Roma are still one point behind Atalanta, who is ranked fourth. In addition, Atalanta has only finished 22 matches. On the other hand, Roma have played 24 matches.

In that match, Inter started well. The visitors took the lead when Francesco Acerbi broke into Roma's goal in the 17th minute. Only the referee had time to review it through VAR. As a result, Acerbi's goal was clean and Inter were 1-0 up

Roma responded by immediately rising after falling behind. As a result, they were able to equalize the score after Gianluca Mancini in the 28th minute. His header, which welcomed Lorenzo Pellegrini's assist, failed to be saved by goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

Roma even took the lead after forward Stephan El Shaarawy scored a goal in the 44th minute. Pellegrini returned to play by providing assists to El Shaarawy. Roma's 2-1 score lasted until the end of the first half.

In the second half, Inter tried to get up by playing attacking football. As a result, Inter did not take long to equalize the score to 2-2.

Inter's goal was created by Marcus Thuram who completed a mature pass by former Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian in the 49th minute.

Goals are like increasing the adrenaline of Inter players. Their attack forced Roma players to strengthen the defense sector. But Rui Patricio's goal finally conceded again in the 56th minute.

This time it was due to Angelino's own goal trying to cut the ball cross. But the ball that was about to throw away instead slid into the goal itself.

The goal made Roma players mentally collapse. They struggled to catch up. Even in injury time, Patricio's goal conceded again.

Midfielder Alessandro Bastoni confirmed Inter's advantage to 4-2. Inter ended the match with a win.
