Inter missed an opportunity to move up to second in the Serie A table after drawing 2-2 against Roma on Sunday evening.
Both sides looked lively in the final third early on and the two keepers were kept busy, but it took until the 36th minute for the deadlock to be broken. Keita Balde found some space in the Roma box and latched on to a dangerous cross from Danilo D'Ambrosio to poke the ball beyond Robin Olsen.
Samir Handanovic, who had been enjoying a stellar half, then kept his side ahead just before the break with a stunning save from an Aleksandar Kolarov free-kick.
