With Milan beating Napoli 2-1 and Inter winning 2-0, the Serie A standings have changed: the top spot has a new leader!

On September 29th Beijing time, the seventh round of Serie A is underway. Among the finished matches, Juventus and Atalanta ended in a 1-1 draw, Cagliari fell 0-2 to Inter, and in a crucial game with one team down to 10 men, Milan edged Napoli 2-1. Consequently, the updated standings show turmoil: the top four are within one point, the top three share 12 points each, Milan tops the table, Juventus is fourth, and Inter fifth!

Juventus faced Atalanta at home. In stoppage time of the first half, Atalanta capitalized on a Juventus mistake, stealing the ball and Sulemana breaking free to score first. In the second half, Atalanta’s motivation waned, allowing Juventus to press forward. Substitute Cabral took advantage of a defensive error to equalize. At the 80th minute, De Roon was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for an inexplicable foul, giving Juventus a numerical advantage. However, Juventus still struggled to score as the opposing goalkeeper was outstanding, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw!

Cagliari took on Inter. This match held little suspense as Inter dominated throughout, relentlessly attacking Cagliari and completely controlling the game. Cagliari failed to register a single shot on target, while Inter fired 20 shots, scoring twice. Lautaro opened the scoring early with a header, and in the final moments, Esposito sealed the victory with another goal. Inter won 2-0, securing their second consecutive win!

Milan played Napoli in a top-of-the-table clash. Early on, Pulisic quickly drove into the box from the left and found Salemaekers at the far post to score a lightning-fast goal. Pulisic then added another with an assist from a teammate to extend the lead. In the second half, Estupiñán was sent off after a foul, and De Bruyne converted the penalty. Despite being a man down, Milan defended resolutely against Napoli’s heavy attacks, with Modrić’s tireless defensive work especially impressive. In the end, AC Milan triumphed 2-1 over Napoli, claiming the top spot!
