Second-Half Collapse at San Siro
In the first massive showdown of the new Serie A season, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Napoli suffered a nightmare defeat, throwing away a commanding two-goal lead to fall 3-2 against defending champions Inter Milan. The dramatic clash on Matchday 3 saw the Partenopei completely lose their bearings during a chaotic second half.
Blow-by-Blow Breakdown
- The Perfect Start: Following a goalless first half, Napoli rapidly seized control early in the second period with goals from Matteo Politano (50′) and Rasmus Højlund (53′).
- The Response: Inter struck back almost immediately in the 56th minute when Lautaro Martínez accurately reduced the deficit.
- The Equalizer: The hosts piled on the pressure, eventually leveling the score in the 82nd minute through a Marcus Thuram header.
- The Heartbreak: With Napoli missing a late chance to steal a victory, Martínez turned match-winner, bundling home his second goal in the 91st minute to seal the comeback.
