Martinez made the breakthrough on the hour mark, controlling the ball on the edge of the area before firing it into the net. Inter is now second in the table with 17 points, two behind leaders Napoli, while Roma is 10th with 10 points.

There were numerous chances for both sides to break the deadlock in the first half, but Roma keeper Mile Svilar and his Inter counterpart Yann Sommer made several impressive saves to keep an intense opening period goalless.
