The home team started dreamily when it only took 3 minutes to open the score. Center back Bastoni pushed up and made an accurate pass to Lautaro Martinez to finish neatly, defeating goalkeeper Provedel. The Argentine striker continued to cause a stir with a header in the 9th minute but the ball went just wide of the post.
After that time, Lazio gradually regained control of the game. In the 18th minute, Zaccagni fired a beautiful shot from outside the penalty area, making the away team regretful when the ball went over the bar. In the second half, Inter Milan continued to maintain the initiative and was rewarded in the 62nd minute when Dimarco crossed the ball accurately for rookie Bonny to finish close to the goal to increase the score to 2-0.
The away team Lazio tried their best to rise, but bad luck continued to surround them. In the 70th minute, Gila's header hit the post, while Pellegrini's effort was blocked by goalkeeper Sommer.
Winning 2-0, Inter Milan temporarily held the top spot in the Serie A 2025-2026 rankings after round 11 with 24 points. However, the Milan team was also heavily chased when AS Roma also had 24 points and temporarily ranked 2nd after a 2-0 victory over Udinese.
