December 6, 2024 (change at 8.29pm) – MILANO
In the unprecedented advance on Friday, the Inter of the very first players made no mistakes, scoring 3 goals against a Parma who were at times defenseless and – while waiting for the recovery of the match against Fiorentina – placed themselves -1 behind leaders Napoli. It’s all easy for Inzaghi’s team, who broke the deadlock at the end of the first half with Dimarco, doubled the lead at the start of the second half with Barella and sealed the deal with the “Parmesan” Thuram shortly after. In the final Darmian’s own goal for the final 3-1. The Nerazzurri coach can dedicate himself to Tuesday’s Champions League match on the Leverkusen pitch with many positive confirmations, interrupted only by the events at Franchi. Of the last 13 matches, Inter have won 11 and drawn just 2. A record which in all respects confirms the ambitions of Thuram and his teammates.
Nerazzurri start
—
Ready to go and Inter puts their foot on the accelerator. In the 8th minute there was an episode: Lautaro slipped in, was brought down by Keita on the edge of the area and Abisso pointed to the spot. Penalty kick for the Nerazzurri, or rather no: the foul is outside the area, the Var corrects it and decrees the punishment. Parma does what they have to, collects like a boxer and tries to restart when they can by exploiting the speed of their wingers but in the 12th minute Pecchia is forced to make the first substitution. Muscle problem for Balogh, inside the former Nerazzurri target Leoni. But the substance doesn’t change and Thuram comes close to scoring shortly after, providentially stopped by an intervention from Del Prato. Inzaghi’s team raises the revs and does so with Dumfries scooter after an action finished off by the heels of Mkhitaryan and Thuram but hitting the crossbar. Inter dominates and, in series, wastes an opportunity with Mkhitaryan and another sensational one with Lautaro who sends it high with the goal wide open. But at the end of the first half Dimarco takes care of it: the protagonist is once again the Armenian, who sets the stage for the Nerazzurri winger’s shot on goal and the Inter lead.

downhill
—
The second half began as the first half ended, that is, with Inter in control of the pitch. Everything goes further downhill in the 53rd minute: Mkhitaryan picks up the ball in the middle of the field and without looking puts Barella on goal, doing well to sit down first Valeri, then Suzuki and send it towards goal. Long check Var, good goal. Shortly afterwards Lautaro squanders another chance with a direct strike into the hands of the visiting goalkeeper, but we have to wait very little to see Inter’s hat-trick. Corner shot from Bisseck’s head towards the far post where Thuram arrives like a hawk to seal the match. And at 3-0 Inzaghi thinks of Leverkusen, Inter’s opponents in the Champions League next Tuesday. Thuram, Dimarco, Calhanoglu and Bastoni are out (out due to slight discomfort in his left flexor). The match is now safe and the three points quickly slip towards the Nerazzurri, who don’t lose the poker due to Lautaro’s third blunder in front of goal. 10′ from the end here’s the surprise: with Inter in control, De Vrij writhes on a ball served deep towards Man, Darmian tries to limit the Romanian but with the winger he holes… Sommer. Own goal and 3-1. It is practically the only “shot” towards Inter’s goal, which does not falter, returns to control the game and collects 3 points which put pressure on the “enemy” Conte.
