Inter overcomes two-goal deficit to win 3-2 against Napoli in Serie A
Summary

Inter secured a 3-2 comeback victory against Napoli at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on September 5, 2026. Napoli initially led 2-0 following goals from Matteo Politano and Rasmus Hojlund. Inter responded in the second half as Lautaro Martinez recorded two goals and Marcus Thuram added another to complete the recovery. The match featured significant tactical rotations from both sides, as Inter rested John Stones and Hakan Calhanoglu for an upcoming Champions League fixture against Real Madrid.
