Faced with a Lazio in confidence and mistress of the ball, who remained on six victories, Inter mainly applied to defend as a team and then plant his banderillas against.

On one of them, Lautaro Martinez got a penalty, after a somewhat desperate tackle from Wesley Hoedt when the Argentinian appeared alone in front of Pepe Reina.

Romelu Lukaku transformed him (22nd) for his 15th goal.

Inter leader before the derby

The Belgian added the 16th just before the break, to join Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the scorers' standings, converting into force a ball which came back to him with a little luck (45th).

The Milanese fortress has cracked only once: on a free kick from Milinkovic-Savic, deflected by his teammate Gonzalo Escalante (61st).

But this implacable Inter against took only three minutes to kill the hope returned to the Romans.

Lukaku, titanic, climbed the field at full speed to offer an unmistakable goal to Martinez, his 11th.
