SECOND-PLACE Inter Milan missed the chance to close the gap on Serie A leaders Juventus yesterday when they could only manage a 1-1 home draw with Genoa.
Esteban Cambiasso's equalizer for the hosts five minutes from time canceled out Ciro Immobile's superb individual goal as Inter nudged up to 35 points, nine behind Juve after the champions won 3-1 against Cagliari on Friday.
Genoa remain second bottom on 14 points.
Inter's Rodrigo Palacio twice went close early in the second half, first blazing over after finding himself one-on-one with Genoa keeper Sebastien Frey and then forcing a fine save from the Frenchman with a powerful left-foot strike.
A stout Genoa defense easily kept Inter at bay and Immobile hit them with what looked like a fatal sucker punch with 13 minutes left. His fine individual goal saw him ghost past defender Andrea Ranocchia and slip a smart finish under keeper Samir Handanovic.
Cambiasso's thumping header gave Inter hope, but it now looks unlikely they will take the title from their rivals.
