JAKARTA - Inter Milan took the top of the Italian League standings from Napoli after they won four consecutive wins, with the most recent embarrassing AS Roma 1-0 in the seventh week of the match at the Stadio Olimpico, Sunday 19 October WIB.

In this match, Inter, played by Cristian Chivu, scored a quick goal in the 6th minute through Ange-Yoan Bonny. The 21-year-old French striker was saved from an offside trap when he received a through ball from his partner.

He, who only has to face one on one with Mile Svilar, won the duel well with the Roma goalkeeper. The score changed to 1-0.

This goal continued Bonny's slick performance in the last league game, when he scored a hat trick assist and one goal in a 4-1 win over Cremonese at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.

After without additional goals in the remainder of the first half, both teams made rapid changes at the start of the second half.

Gian Piero Gasperini replaced Evan Ndicka and Lorenzo Pellegrini in the 55th minute to include Jan Ziolkowski and Artem Dovbyk. For Inter, they responded by including Francesco Pio ESPosito and Davide Frattesi to replace the roles of Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglou.

Statistically, the turn of Roma is more running because it makes them more in control of the game and produces many chances. In total, the Giallorossi created 12 shots, three of which became golden opportunities.

However, Yann Sommer's ferocity that made a total of five saves, all of which occurred in the second half, dashed the expectations of the home team equalizing.

Two of Sommer's five saves were to hold Paulo Dybala's shot in the 52nd minute and his free-kick in the 54th minute.

In addition, the Swiss goalkeeper also managed to thwart Mario Hermoso's close-range opportunity in the 52nd minute, which headed the ball from a corner kick situation.

In the second half, the Nerazzurri relied more on counter-attacks. In the 84th minute, one of the attacks they carried out almost resulted in a second goal. Unfortunately, Henrikh Mkhitaryan's shot was still sideways.

No additional goals were scored in the second half and the 1-0 victory belonged to Inter. This additional three points led them to win the top throne of the standings from Napoli which Torino defeated with a score of 1-0.

Both Inter, Napoli, and Roma, both have 15 points resulting from five wins and two defeats. However, in this case, Inter's goal difference is better, so they have the right to lead the standings.

However, the top of Inter's standings is not completely safe. The reason is, this blue and black team still has the potential to be shifted by Juventus who will play against Como on Sunday at 17.30 WIB or also AC Milan who will fight Fiorentina on Monday (20/10) at 01.45 WIB.

The following is the line-up for the starters of the two teams:

AS Roma: Mile Svilar (GK), Evan Ndicka, Gianluca Mancini, Mario Hermoso, Zeki Celik, Bryan Cristante (C), Manu Kone, Wesley, Matias Soule, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Paulo Dybala

Coach: Gian Piero Gasperini

Inter Milan: Yann Sommer (GK), Manuel Akanji, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barela, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Ange-Yoan Bonny, Lautaro Martinez (C)
