The Inter Milan and Roma drew 1-1 this Sunday at San Siro, with a goal from Uruguayan Matías Vecino that equalized in the 86th minute a goal from Italian Stephan El Shaarawy, in a match that confirmed the difficulties of both teams in the Italian league.
The Milanese team has not known victory for six games, since they won against Chievo, while Roma has gone four rounds without winning and paid this Sunday the hard blow suffered in the second half.
The result at San Siro is not satisfactory for either Roma, who remains in fifth place, or Inter, who is fourth and will try to console themselves with the imminent arrival of Spanish-Brazilian Rafinha Alcántara, who traveled to Milan on Sunday from Barcelona for a medical check-up.
After about 25 evenly matched minutes, the intensity of the match increased after half an hour of play, with Inter wasting a great opportunity to take the lead in the 29th minute and being immediately punished by El Shaarawy, who put Roma ahead in the 31st minute.
However, the "nerazzurro" club did not stop believing in the draw and was finally rewarded in the 86th minute, when Vecino took advantage of a cross from Croatian Marcelo Brozovic to equalize for his team.
The final 1-1 allowed Inter to maintain fourth place and prevented Roma from taking it away from them this same Sunday, although the Romans can catch up with them if they win on Wednesday against Sampdoria in the rescheduled match due to a threat of heavy rain last September.

Inter vs Roma - Preview
In the closing of Sunday's matchday 21 of the Serie A in Italy, Inter Milan receives Roma in a match that promises emotions from start to finish.
Both teams are obligated to win in order to not fall behind leaders Napoli and Juventus and maintain a spot in the Champions League qualification zone.
At the moment, the neroazzurri are in third place in the standings with 42 points, while Roma is fifth with 39.
Until December, the Milan team were undefeated leaders, but then they had a negative streak of five games (three draws and two losses) that caused them to drop two positions and be nine points behind the league leaders.
A form slump that Roma also suffered, as after a series of high-level performances both in the league and in the group stage of the Champions League, where they contributed to the elimination of Atlético Madrid, they only managed to earn one point in the last three matches.
Thus, the match at San Siro is a crucial stage for both teams to recover enthusiasm and relaunch their ambitions in this season, where they seek to at least secure a spot in the next Champions League.
The match Inter vs Roma will be played this Sunday starting at 02:45 p.m. (Peruvian time) at Giuseppe Meazza stadium and will be televised by FOX Sports.
