A unique rule could decide the Serie A title fate

Inter's defeat against Bologna has intensified the suspense in the Serie A title race, as the "Nerazzurri" fiasco allowed Napoli to draw level with the leader in terms of points. If it remains this way until the final round, an unconventional solution will be required.
Details: Usually, in such cases, the champion is determined by head-to-head results or the overall goal difference. However, from the 2022/2023 season in Italy, things are different. In the event of a tie in points, the Serie A champion will be decided in a "golden match," with goal difference only determining the host team.
If the winner is not determined after 90 minutes, the teams will immediately proceed to a penalty shootout, as there will be no extra time in the match. The playoff also determines which team will be relegated from Serie A if the 17th and 18th teams have the same number of points.
Reminder: Inter and Napoli both have 71 points with five rounds remaining. Third-placed Atalanta trails them by seven points.
