Inter struck first in the 16th minute when Piotr Zielinski converted a superb Hakan Calhanoglu corner with a well-placed volley. However, Verona, undeterred, responded just before half-time as Gift Orban set up Giovane, who fired a thunderous right-footed strike into the far corner to equalise Despite controlling the second half and limiting Inter's attacking threat, Verona could not find a winner.

Paris Saint-Germain left it late to snatch all three points in their Ligue 1 clash at home to Nice to preserve a two-point lead at the top.

Hellas Verona are a modest club in Italy and are an established team in the top flight of Italian football. I Gialloblu finished as high as 13th in the Serie A table in the 2023-24 season and 14th in the 2024-25 campaign, and they will be happy if they end up in a similar position this time around.

As the clock ticks by, Santiago Gimenez remains without a league goal for the season, and eventually he might run out of time. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report this morning, a quarter of the season has practically gone by and Gimenez hasn't scored a single goal in Serie A. He's spent 627 minutes on the pitch, over ten hours of play, but hasn't scored a single goal: an eternity for striker.

In the United States, no one wants to see Cagliari versus Lecce, and that's a problem. Competition is the essence of sport, but it's not rewarded financially.
