The Milan derby took place at the San Siro on 31 October 2026, with Milan achieving a 2-0 victory against Inter. The result was confirmed by the first actions: Inter conceded a first goal after 4 minutes, when coup leader J. Pulisic took advantage of a cross from D. Moreira to beat goalkeeper Martinez. Milan then extended their lead to 10 minutes, when A. Rabiot lobbed a lob over the goalkeeper, leaving Martinez's goal with no chance of response. The match ended without further goals, with Milan gaining the three points needed to consolidate their position in the standings.
Before the match, both teams showed great motivation. Ruben Amorim, Milan coach, underlined the importance of staying focused on the present, while Inter, led by Cristian Chivu, tried to recover their form after the defeat against Bologna (4-2). The president of Inter, Giuseppe Marotta, also spoke of the importance of the new stadium in Milan, presented as a "stratospheric" project which aims to guarantee safety, hospitality and greater income for the clubs.
During the match, Inter attempted to react with a corner kick that went to Bisseck's head, but goalkeeper Maignan blocked the shot without difficulty. Milan, however, took advantage of the opportunities created by ball possession, with Rabiot and Pulisic demonstrating their ability to finish in pressure situations. The final result left Milan three points ahead of Lazio, who face Cagliari on 1 November.
