Buts: Çalhanoğlu (41esp), Dimarco (45e), Stretcher (51e), Dumfries (53e), Charles Augustus (77e), Thuram (90e) for the Nerazzurri
Game, set and match.
It was the shock of the 16e day in Serie A between Lazio and Inter, both tied in the standings. But it was on the side of Inter, the second best Italian attack, that the match changed at the end of the first period before Simone Inzaghi’s protégés took off for good to win 6-0 and secure third place in Serie A.
However, it was Lazio who dominated the first 40 minutes of the match by completely confiscating the ball from the Interists. Nuno Tavares first (7e23e), puis Gustav Isaksen (11e) dedicated themselves to warming Yann Sommer’s gloves… before the balance of power is reversed.
Twenty minutes to change everything
Yet dominated, Inter offered themselves the first thrill of the evening with Stefan de Vrij’s goal, refused for offside (36e), but which ultimately resulted in a penalty for Inter after Daniele Chiffi was called by VAR for a handball from Samuel Gigot. A helping hand for Nerazzurri who were not asked to take advantage grace to Hakan Çalhanoğlu (0-1, 41e). Much more confident, Inter doubled the lead four minutes later thanks to the three-star service of Denzel Dumfries for Federico Dimarco whose low shot left Ivan Provedel no chance (0-2, 45e). Two shots on target, two goals, clinical.
The break did not hinder interist offensive intentions since Nicolò Barella distinguished himself with a strike from 25 meters who once again ended his race in the back of Provedel’s net (0-3, 51e). Ferryman for Dimarco, Dumfries came to confirm the Milanese recital two minutes later (0-4, 53e), before Carlos Augusto came and stuck five fingers on the cheeks of Biancocelesti (0-5, 77e) and that Marcus Thuram completes Inter’s offensive work (0-6, 90e).
The Stadio Olimpico fortress has fallen.
