February 16, 2020 Lazio turn Inter and take second place remaining in the wake of Juventus, at a single point. The 2-1 of the Olimpico sends the nerazzurri to third place three lengths from the leaders. This is the verdict of the first Scudetto match between the three leading. On March 1st, between two days, there is Juventus-Inter.

Mirror teams with 3-5-2. Marusic and Jony are the exteriors of Inzaghi, Immobile and Caicedo the tips. Conte again has Lautaro (discounted the two rounds of disqualification), in attack with Lukaku. Candreva and Young on the wings, Eriksen on the bench. Tactical match, nobody wants to give the break. Godin's header on a high corner. On the other front (9 ') Milinkovic-Savic' breaks' the crossbar with a broadside of over 20 meters. Excellent chance for Inter when Lukaku starts and then finishes a restart, the shot is on Strakosha who rejects. Leiva and Immobile try from distance, without luck. At 44 'the score is unlocked: Candreva kicks from outside the area, Strakosha surprised rejects short, Young arrives who scores his first goal in Serie A.

The hard Nerazzurri advantage just the space of the interval. On a cross towards Milinkovic-Savic, Skriniar and Padelli collide and the goalkeeper remains on the ground, the defender manages to return to the Serbian and prevent his goal with an empty goal, but the ball ends up at Immobile which is spread by De Vrij. At 50 'the top scorer of the A (26 goals) transforms the penalty. Lukaku tries to make himself dangerous, Acerbi walls him. Shortly after the hour of play Inzaghi moves his pawns: Correa for Caicedo and Lazzari for Marusic. Lazio gains in liveliness, Inter is seen only on the restart. And in the 69th minute and a counterattack: on a corner, Marusic takes a volley after a ball, Brozovic rejects the line, Vecino is unable to move away, Milinkovic-Savic controls and Padelli is cold. The Nerazzurri raise the center of gravity, compact white and pale under the shoulder. Conte meditates, then inserts Moses and Eriksen for Candreva and Brozovic. The Dane shows up with an 18-meter fan that Strakosha rejects somehow. Lazio at ease in spaces. Immobile and Correa miss the decisive touch a couple of times. Then Immobile is very good at sliding the ball beyond the defensive line, Padelli is even better at intercepting what seemed like a goal scored. Sanchez in place of Godin in the last five minutes, move by Conte's desperation. Inter's last chance is in the unfortunate back pass of Luiz Felipe, Strakosha anticipates Lautaro by a whisker and Acerbi immolates himself on Lukaku in the aftermath of the action.
