The former Juventus defender stunned his fans by conceding a quick goal to De Sciglio, who is on loan at Empoli this season. A little later, VAR saved the Turin team from a penalty, in which case it turned out that the opponent player had handled the ball at the start of the attack. In the first half, the only dangerous situation created by Thiago Motta's team was a backhand shot by Nico Gonzalez, but the goalkeeper saved the ball as it went under the bar.

In the second half, the “Cesa Siniora” really woke up, and Kolo Mouani proved why he came to Juventus. The forward, who was loaned from PSG in the winter transfer window, scored in his first match against Napoli, this time with a brace in the space of three minutes. In the first case, the French striker took a defender out of the game and fired a powerful shot into the near corner. In the second, he made a long-range attack with a hockey-like foot to block Weah’s long-range shot, leaving the goalkeeper helpless. Thus, he became the first player since Carlos Tevez (2013) to score in both of his debut goals for Juve.

In the final moments of the match, Francisco Conceição, who was in a one-on-one situation after a long-range shot by Vlahovic and a long pass from Thuram, gave Empoli a decisive victory. The Bianconeri climbed to fourth place. But Lazio can secure the final Champions League spot with a win against Cagliari on Monday.

Milan - Inter 1:1
Goals: Reynders (45) - de Vrij (90+3).
Milan - Mengan, Theo, Pavlovic, Tomori, Walker, Reynders, Binnosir (Jiménez, 46), Musa (Terracciano, 78), Leau (Gabbia, 85), Pulisic (Chukwuese, 86), Abraham (Camarda, 78).
Inter – Sommer, Bastoni (Carlos Augusto, 63), de Vrij, Pavard (Bissek, 63), Dimarco (Zalewski, 76), Mkhitaryan (Fratesi, 76), Çalhanoğlu (Zelinski, 63), Barella, Dumfries, Martinez, Thuram.
Cautions: Bastoni (53), Dumfries (61).

Judging by the results this season, the Milan derby was a clear favorite. However, Milan won both the first round of the championship and the Italian Super Cup final.

The Nerazzurri's leader Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who was unable to participate in these games due to injury, took the field in the third derby. Mexican striker Santiago Jimenez joined the Rossoneri from Feyenoord. He was called up to replace Morata, who was away to Galatasaray, while Walker made his debut on the right wing of the home team.

In a match that was not so spectacular, Inter began to take the initiative over time. The Nerazzurri scored twice, both times being ruled offside. On the eve of the break, Reynders took the stage. The Milan midfielder first shot from distance, forcing Sommer to dive for the ball, which was heading towards the near post. When Çalhanoğlu lost the ball due to pressure in the center of the field, the red and whites launched a counterattack with the participation of Hernández and Rafael Leão, and the goalkeeper, after the shot, dropped the ball to Reynders' feet.

In the second half, Inter's third goal was also disallowed due to a foul during the attack, and in three more episodes - after shots by Bissek, Thuram and Dumfries - he came to the rescue of Mengian. The goalkeeper himself saved a close-range shot in added time. However, Inter were spared defeat in the third minute of added time, when Zalewski, who had just arrived from Roma, chested the ball down to De Frei, who fired in from a good position. The Nerazzurri were happy not to lose, but the draw was more pleasing for Napoli, who had the chance to increase the gap.

Roma — Napoli 1:1
Goals: Angelino (90+2) — Spinazzola (29).
Roma – Svilar, Angelino, Ndika, Mancini, Renx (Baldanzi, 80), Pizilli, Cristante (Dovbik, 64), Kone (Paredes, 56), Al Sha'arovi (Salemakers, 55), Shomurodov (Dybala, 80), Soule.
Napoli – Meret, Spinazzola, Jesus, Rrahmani, Di Lorenzo, McTominay, Lobotka, Zambo-Angissa, Neres (Mazzocchi, 76), Lukaku (Simeone, 81), Politano (Raspadori, 86).
Cautions: Politano (14), Kone (51), Pizzilli (72).

Antonio Conte's team took the initiative in Rome immediately. Claudio Ranieri's lineup would have allowed it. Eldor Shomurodov, who scored the decisive goal against Eintracht in the Europa League group stage in midweek, was on the pitch from the start, while Dybala, Pellegrini, Dovbik, Paredes and Hummels were left on the bench for the Romans. Spinazzola's goal against his former team midway through the first half was a logical move.

Wolves could have equalized in the first half, but Meret saved the visitors. In the second half, Paredes' free kick hit the crossbar. In the extra time, the Romans still escaped defeat. Angelino, one of the heroes of the match against Eintracht on Thursday, fired the ball into the far corner without stopping after a pass from Salemakers. In Rome, the events at the San Siro were almost repeated. After two draws, the situation at the top of the tournament table has not changed. Napoli is still in first place, Inter is chasing with a three-point difference, but has a game in hand.
