Soccer: Inter Lose to Juve, Miss Chance to Go Top

Turin: Champions Inter missed the chance to overtake Napoli at the top of Serie A on Sunday when they lost 1-0 at Juventus in the so-called ‘derby of Italy’. Portugal forward Francisco Conceicao scored the winner in the 74th minute to lift the Turin giants to fourth place, which is good for a spot in next season’s Champions League.

According to Ansa News Agency, Inter remain second with 54 points from 25 games, two points behind Napoli, who drew 1-1 at fifth-placed Lazio on Saturday. The defeat for Inter was a significant setback in their pursuit of reclaiming the top spot in the league, while Juventus’ victory bolstered their position in the standings, enhancing their prospects for European competition next season.
