Monday (20) dawn, Serie A "battle of nations" broke out, Juventus midfielder Ferratti a long-distance shot to set the stage, away from home to 1-0 force over Inter Milan. Although Juve was deducted 15 points for financial fraud, but the last 7 rounds of the league won 6 victories, currently only 7 points behind the fourth AC Milan. With such strong momentum, Juventus is expected to return to the top four and qualify for the next Champions League.

Inter Milan attacked hard in the early stages of the match, with Nicobarrena's two shots on goal being valiantly saved by Juve goalkeeper Stefan Stefanini. Chahanougou had a shot on goal but failed to break through. On a counterattack, Rabiot's diagonal pass was easily scored by Ferratti, sealing the win for Juventus.

The goal was of special significance as, according to OPTA, Juventus have scored 100 goals in Serie A away matches against Inter Milan, second only to AC Milan's 117.

The match resumed with Inter Milan stepping up their offense, but the result was not good. The game became more and more intense, and when the final whistle blew, players from both teams clashed, with Inter Milan defender Dias and Juve midfielder Riandu Berdis both being sent off with red cards. Inter Milan have lost 3 of their last 4 league matches, and the gap between them and Napoli at the top of the table has reached 21 points, making the prospect of the title race a worrying one.

In another Serie A marquee match, Lazio overtook Inter Milan to move into second place with a 1-0 win over Roma thanks to a goal from Saccarini. It was also a match full of fireworks, with Roma center back Roger Ibennis and midfielder Beran Kirstendi sent off and Lazio defender Adam Marussi receiving a red card.

With AC Milan and Roma both losing this round, seventh-place Juventus took advantage of the opportunity to close the gap and greatly increase their chances of returning to the top four.
