Inter Milan dropped points in the Serie A title race after squandering a two-goal advantage against Torino FC on Sunday. The league leaders appeared comfortable when Marcus Thuram opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. Yann Bisseck added a second goal with a header shortly after the break.
However, Torino FC fought back strongly. Giovanni Simeone reduced the deficit with 20 minutes left to play. Nine minutes later, Nikola Vlasic converted a penalty to level the scores at 2-2.
The result leaves Inter Milan with 79 points at the top of the table. They hold a 10-point lead over Napoli, who defeated Cremonese 4-0 on Friday. The championship will be decided with four matches remaining.
In Germany, Borussia Dortmund confirmed their place in next season’s Champions League. They thrashed SC Freiburg 4-0 in the Bundesliga. Maximilian Beier, Serhou Guirassy and Ramy Bensebaini scored inside the first 30 minutes. Substitute Fábio Silva added the fourth goal late in the match.
Dortmund are guaranteed a top-four finish with three games left to play.
VfB Stuttgart’s hopes of reaching the Champions League suffered a setback. They managed only a 1-1 draw at home to SV Werder Bremen. Jens Stage gave Bremen an early lead before Ermedin Demirovic equalised four minutes after his introduction in the second half.
Stuttgart remain in fourth position. They are level on points with TSG Hoffenheim but possess a superior goal difference. Bayer Leverkusen trail by two points. Stuttgart still face matches against Hoffenheim, Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt.
In Spain, Rayo Vallecano salvaged a 3-3 draw against Real Sociedad in a dramatic La Liga encounter. The match featured a controversial VAR decision. Rayo thought they had equalised at 2-2 through Pedro Díaz in the 69th minute. However, the video referee ruled out the goal and awarded Sociedad a penalty for a foul earlier in the move.
Mikel Oyarzabal scored the spot-kick in the 76th minute to make it 3-1. Rayo refused to give up. Florian Lejeune struck in the 84th minute before Alemão scored in the ninth minute of stoppage time to complete the comeback.
Sevilla FC’s relegation fears increased following a 2-1 defeat at CA Osasuna. Neal Maupay put Sevilla ahead in the 69th minute. Raúl García equalised for the hosts before Alejandro Catena grabbed a stoppage-time winner.
