Milan won the Milan derby by defeating Inter 3-1 in a clash decided entirely in the first forty-five minutes of play. According to reports from the newspaper la Repubblica, the Rossoneri's tactical setup saw Moreira shifted to the right wing, scoring from a free kick and providing two assists. For the side led by Ruben Amorim, Rabiot and Pulisic were also on the scoresheet, while goalkeeper Maignan stepped in to stop a close-range effort from Spence.

At the end of the match, manager Amorim highlighted the importance of the result while maintaining caution, reiterating the need to preserve balance throughout the season. The victory allows Milan to move within four points of their city rivals. The ownership, represented by Gerry Cardinale, also praised the character and resilience displayed by the team on the pitch.

On the other side, Nerazzurri coach Cristian Chivu acknowledged the difficulties encountered at the start of the match, affected by significant absences such as the injured Lautaro and fever issues that struck squad members including Provedel, Bonny, and Pio Esposito. Bastoni's goal was not enough to overcome the Nerazzurri's early deficit.

For Inter, this represents the sixth defeat in the last eight city derbies, although they remain at the top of the table with twenty-five points alongside Lazio awaiting the upcoming matches. Midfielder Nicolò Barella also drew attention to the management of the opening stages of matches and the mistakes made, urging the squad to regain defensive solidity for the rest of the campaign.
