Serie A: Inter easily triumphed over Lazio on the road

Inter, leading the championship, visited Rome to face Lazio in the 16th round of Serie A.

The first half didn't offer much excitement. Just when it seemed both teams would go into halftime without a goal, Marusic made a catastrophic mistake: the Lazio defender rolled the ball straight to Lautaro near their own penalty area. The Argentine beat Provedel and opened the scoring.

In the second half, the Nerazzurri doubled their advantage through Marcus Thuram, who fiercely struck the ball from outside the box past Provedel. The home side failed to muster a response, with Lazzari receiving a straight red card for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Inter gathered 41 points, solidifying their top spot in the Serie A standings, maintaining a four-point lead over Juventus. On December 20th, Simone Inzaghi's side will face Bologna in the Italian Cup. Lazio, positioned 11th with 21 points, is scheduled to play against Empoli in the league on December 22nd.

Tomorrow, both teams will discover their opponents in the Champions League Round of 16.
