Roma squandered a two-goal lead at home as defending champions Inter came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw at the Stadio Olimpico. Lautaro Martínez scored both of Inter's goals in the second half to cancel out Manu Koné's brace, extending his remarkable record of always scoring against teams managed by Gian Piero Gasperini. The draw represented an important point for Inter's title defence but a missed opportunity for Roma, who had won their opening four matches and stood level with the champions.

Inter produced another display of characteristic resilience, falling 2-0 behind for the fourth consecutive match and the third time this month they have avoided defeat from such a position. Martínez equalised in the 79th minute, whilst Roma's goalkeeper Mile Svilar made crucial saves to keep Inter at bay. Both teams had opportunities to win—Martínez had squandered an open goal earlier, whilst Donyell Malen fired a fierce effort that struck Inter's keeper. The result leaves both clubs to reflect on their title credentials, with Inter demonstrating their depth and Gasperini's Roma showing they are worthy challengers.
