Inter Milan fail to keep up pace with league leaders Napoli as they slipped up against Sampdoria.
Sampdoria put on a gutsy performance to draw 0-0 against an Inter side that only managed to huff and puff all game without dealing any real damage.
The Blucerchiati hosted Inter Milan at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium as they looked to pick up their first win after five games. The hosts only managed a draw against the mightier Inter who looked to keep pace with league leaders Napoli.
The point takes Sampdoria eight points from safety. while Inter's chances of catching runaway leaders Napoli look even bleaker.
How it happened
Inter Milan started the game on the front foot, threatening to run away with the tie, but never managing to take the first step. the first-half ended barren but Inter looked like the team most likely to get the opener.
The visitors managed to crack space in the left side of Sampdoria’s defensive wall, with Federico Di Marco going close to scoring twice before the 60th-minute mark, but poor finishing meant that Emil Audero in goal for Sampdoria kept his clean sheet.

Simeone Inzaghi made a triple change at the 66th-minute mark, bringing on Denzel Dumfries, Marcelo Brozovic, and Edin Dzeko for Mateo Darmian, Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukakau respectively, however, it was to no effect as Sampdoria handled the new inclusions as well as they did their predecessors.
