With the clock sprinting towards the 90th minute, Roma held a slim 2-1 lead and seemed headed for an upset of Antonio Conte and Inter Milan, but thanks to head-scratching decision while clearing the ball and a rash challenge quickly thereafter from Leonardo Spinazzola, Roma conceding a demoralizing penalty to Inter, which Romelu Lukaku converted with ease, snatching two points from Roma with very little time to erase the error.
