Inter Milan missed the chance to move level on points with AC Milan at the top of Serie A after a frustrating goalless draw at lowly Genoa.
Champions Inter had their better chances in the first half with Hakan Calhanoglu shooting wide – and Stefano Sturaro almost gave Genoa their first home win of the season late on.
Inter, who are two points behind Milan, have not won in four Serie A games.
Earlier on Friday AC Milan drew 1-1 at home to Udinese.
Rafael Leao gave Milan the lead but Destiny Udogie deservedly levelled for the visitors.
This was only the third time in Serie A history that both Milan teams have played on a Friday (excluding games against each other).
Napoli will go top of Serie A if they win at Lazio on Sunday. Their next game is at home to Milan.
