Italian Football Headlines: Unexpected Results Shake Up Serie A
Inter Squander Lead in Shocking Draw
Inter Milan suffered a major setback in their title pursuit, surrendering a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 with Parma.

Manager Inzaghi’s substitutions came under scrutiny, with key players like Calhanoglu and Lautaro withdrawn before the equalizer. The result leaves Inter vulnerable, as Napoli could close the gap to just one point with a win against Bologna.
