Inter 2-1 Verona; AC Milan Beat Roma

Inter Milan edged Hellas Verona 2-1 as Piotr Zielinski opened the scoring with a spectacular volley from a Hakan Calhanoglu corner and a late stoppage-time own goal by Martin Frese provided the winner. Coach Cristian Chivu said he had initially opposed the corner routine but praised assistant Angelo Palombo and the players after a nervous, hard-fought victory. The result moves Inter to 21 points, level with AC Milan and Roma and one point behind leaders Napoli. Earlier on Sunday AC Milan beat Roma 1-0 as Strahinja Pavlovic tapped in from a Rafael Leao cut-back, and goalkeeper Mike Maignan saved a late Paulo Dybala penalty to preserve the win. The top four are now separated by a single point, tightening the Serie A title race as the season reaches a pivotal phase.
