Inter Milan Triumphs 2-0 Over Atalanta, Extending Lead Over Napoli

Inter Milan played like true champions in Bergamo, securing a decisive 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the highly anticipated 29th-round derby. This win allowed them to establish a three-point lead over second-placed Napoli, who had earlier claimed a win against Venezia. Atalanta, which just a week ago reasserted itself as a title contender, succumbed to the pressure and couldn’t put much of a fight against Inter in a game filled with high tension and drama that concluded in the 102nd minute. After a somewhat lackluster first half, Inter took the lead in the 54th minute through Carlos Augusto following an assist by Çalhanoğlu. In the 81st minute, Atalanta’s ÉderSON was sent off with a second yellow card. A minute later, Lautaro Martínez scored the 2-0 goal that sealed Inter’s victory, prompting the dismissal of Atalanta’s coach Gian Piero Gasperini for protesting. The chain of expulsions was completed in the fifth minute of stoppage time with Bastoni receiving his second yellow card.
