Inter’s Serie A clash with Roma could be a match with a real Italian theme, as it promises to be a showcase for more Azzurri players in the two teams’ starting elevens than any in Serie A this weekend besides Sampdoria’s match against Monza. Particularly for the top sides like Inter and Roma, there is little room to be sentimental and focus on giving Italian players, as the pressure is always to simply win with the best players. Italian Media Predict Inter’s Serie A Clash With Roma Will Be “Made In Italy” With Eight Azzurri Internationals To Start For The Two Teams

Inter's loss to Roma tonight was their fourth defeat in their first eight games of the Serie A season, tying their worst start to a league campaign.

The team finished that season 6th in the Serie A table. As highlighted by OptaPaolo, tonight’s defeat means that Inter have lost four of their opening eight league games, tying their worst start to a Serie A campaign, which came in the 2011-12 season. Simone Inzaghi’s side failed to bounce back in the second half, allowing [Chris Smalling](https://football-italia.net/player/chris-smalling/) to score a winner for Roma with 15 minutes to go.

Smalling headed home in the 75th minute after a brilliant free kick by Lorenzo Pellegrini from about 44 yards.

Inter striker Edin Dzeko had scored in the 11th minute as Roma’s defence faltered but his goal was chalked off by the VAR for offside. Inter defender Federico Dimarco opened the scoring in the 30th minute when Nicolo Barella met him with a pass in the middle of the box, with his low strike taking a deflection off keeper Rui Patricio but still reaching the corner of the net. A header by AS Roma defender Chris Smalling in the second half helped his side to seal a 2-1 victory at Inter Milan in Serie A on Saturday.

Roma have left Inter's Scudetto dreams in tatters with their first win over the Nerazzurri since 2017, as Paulo Dybala's volley and a Chris Smalling header.

[Chris Smalling](https://football-italia.net/player/chris-smalling/) got away from his rivals for a header at the back post. [Rick](https://football-italia.net/player/rick/) Karsdorp, [Georginio Wijnaldum](https://football-italia.net/player/georginio-wijnaldum/) and [Ebrima Darboe](https://football-italia.net/player/ebrima-darboe/) injured, but [Paulo Dybala](https://football-italia.net/player/paulo-dybala/) and [Lorenzo Pellegrini](https://football-italia.net/player/lorenzo-pellegrini/) shook off muscular issues and [Tammy Abraham](https://football-italia.net/player/tammy-abraham/) was surprisingly dropped. [Hakan Calhanoglu](https://football-italia.net/player/hakan-calhanoglu/)’s screamer fizzed just wide of the upright, but Inter did indeed take the lead when Nicolò Bastoni threaded through for [Federico Dimarco](https://football-italia.net/player/federico-dimarco/), who rolled it fairly slowly into the near bottom corner from the edge of the area with his weaker right foot, Rui [Patric](https://football-italia.net/player/patric/)io getting down very late indeed. [Samir](https://football-italia.net/player/samir/) Handanovic made a desperate double save on [Leonardo Spinazzola](https://football-italia.net/player/leonardo-spinazzola/) and then Dybala, but it wouldn’t have counted for an earlier foul on [Denzel Dumfries](https://football-italia.net/player/denzel-dumfries/). [Romelu Lukaku](https://football-italia.net/player/romelu-lukaku/) was still out after over a month and was joined by [Marcelo](https://football-italia.net/player/marcelo/) Brozovic, so [Kristjan Asllani](https://football-italia.net/player/kristjan-asllani/) and [Edin Dzeko](https://football-italia.net/player/edin-dzeko/) stepped in.
