Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Inter, 2nd position with 50 points and a positive goal difference of +18
Spezia, 17th position with 21 points and a negative goal difference of -20
Spezia won the Serie A Week 26 game defeating Inter on Friday 13 March 2023 at the Alberto Picco Stadium in Spezia, Italy. Inter fell on the Spezia field in anticipation of the 26th day of Serie A and with the eighth defeat in the championship. This is a tough lost because Inter saw the chances of approaching Napoli vanish completely. Inter remain -15 from Napoli. Good news is for Spezia reaching 24 points, +8 on the third from last place.
Spezia gets the third victory at the Peak of its championship, the first since the derby with Sampdoria on 17 September. The race for salvation is still very open, there is a long way to go until the end of the season. However, Spezia seeming closer to remain in Serie A next season.
The sour note is for the Argentinean forward Lautaro Martínez failing to convert a penalty in the 14th minute. In fact, Lautaro missed five penalties in Serie A, out of fourteen attempts, of which three in the last four kicked, a sign of a bad relationship between the world champion and the eleven meters. The happiest would be Spezia goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski after saving Martinez’ penalty.
