Although players such as Lautaro and Te'o were able to threaten the goal in the game, they were never able to break the deadlock. It wasn't until the 17th minute that Inter opened the scoring with a header from a corner kick by Acerbi. The goal not only opened the door for Inter Milan to win, but also gave them the initiative in the rest of the game.
Heading into the second half, Inter continued to maintain an attacking stance. After receiving the ball in front, Muram escaped the defence with a clever dribble, cut inside and fired home from distance to make it 2-0. The goal almost declared the defeat of AC Milan and made Inter fans start celebrating the upcoming championship in advance.
However, AC Milan did not give up. They launched a fierce counter-attack from two goals down. Although neither Te'o nor Christian Pulisic could convert their shots into goals, Milan's persistence finally paid off in the 80th minute. Fikayo Tomori headed home from a set-piece to pull one back for AC Milan.
Despite pulling a goal back, AC Milan were unable to turn the tide in the end. In stoppage time, there was another clash between the two players, with Te'o, Dumfries and Calabria being sent off for aggressive behaviour. The derby ended in a victory for Inter Milan, who also sealed the Serie A title early into this season.
Bologna beat Roma and finished in the top four in Serie A
In another crucial Serie A matchup, Bologna secured fourth place in the Serie A table with a 3-1 win over Roma. The match was equally full of intense confrontations and brilliant goals.
Shortly after the start of the game, Paredes and Zirkze both received yellow cards for a clash, setting the tone for the game. Roma took the lead but Shaarawy's shot went wide. Bologna, on the other hand, opened the scoring through a volley from Azuzzi, who played it all together.
Despite the fact that the two players clashed again after the goal, Bologna were not affected too much. They continued to dominate the pitch and made it 2-0 with a well-timed effort from Zirkze just before half-time. Roma were clearly underwhelming in the first half and they needed to make changes in the second half.
Entering the second half, Roma made a series of substitutions to try to turn the tide on the pitch. Their efforts soon paid off, as Azmoun came off the bench to find the back of the net with three shots in quick succession to pull a goal back for Roma. However, Roma were not given much of a chance and they were quick to respond to Roma's goal. Zirkze seized the opportunity and kept passing the ball, and the latter single-handedly pushed in and scored to extend the score again.
Although Roma continued to make substitutions and launched fierce attacks in the closing stages of the game, Manuel Pellegrini's powerful shot was deflected wide and they missed the last chance to score. With Castro's stoppage-time goal ruled offside, Roma lost all hope of a comeback. In the end, Bologna won 3-1 against Roma and secured fourth place in the Serie A standings.
