In a game of few chances, Giampaolo Pazzini netted the only goal of the game to send Samp surging to the top of the table.
Both sides were well aware of what was at stake as the midfield was extremely congested and chances at a premium.
Esteban Cambiasso had the best opening of the first half, forcing a fine save out of Luca Castellazzi after exchanging passes with Diego Milito.
Mario Balotelli forced a good save out of Castellazzi in the second half, but it was Samp who took the lead when Pazzini turned in Daniele Mannini's cross on 72 minutes.
Inter substitute Ricardo Quaresma saw his deflected shot ruled out for offside and Castellazzi made a stunning save from Lucio's free kick in injury time.
