INTER-COMO 2-0
(48' Carlos Augusto, 90'+2 Thuram)
Sommer 6 – A couple of saves that weren't too complicated.
Bisseck 6.5 – In the organized Nerazzurri defense he is the only one in his place, at this point he could even be defined as a starter, and it shows. He doesn't allow any space behind, the usual bucking in front. (Dal 74' De Vrij 6 – He grits his teeth and places himself on the center-right without taking any risks).
Sticks 6.5 – The role of central defender is not an absolute novelty, having already held it in the national team. He interprets it with application, without major concessions forward.
Carlos Augusto 7 – Clumsy at the start, it loosens up as the minutes pass. He invites Dimarco to his wedding at the end of the first half, and at the start of the second half he makes the move that unlocks the game. He enjoyed it, including a providential closure on his evening that was worth another goal.
Dumfries 5,5 – Duel to the last horse with Fadera on the competent band, not always won.
Stretcher 6 – On the pitch after the quick recovery, he doesn't save himself but he doesn't enchant either. (Dal 74' Zielinski 6.5 – Good impact, the ball that Thuram sends towards goal passes from his feet).
Calhanoglu 6,5 – Assist from a corner in a rather ordinary evening for the Turkish director.
Mkhitaryan 6,5 – He only lights up at times, but when he does it is the Armenian who changes the balance of the evening and breaks Fabregas' lines. Dirty end with a lost ball not by him (From 89' Frattesi sv)
Dimarco 6 – Inter's left flank struggled to take off, at the end of the first half they had a good opportunity and didn't take advantage of it. Shyer than usual. (Dall'80' Buchanan st)
Thuram 7 – He is in sumptuous condition and Inter are leaning on him. Shots, dribbling, intuitions that his teammates don't exploit and don't give back to him. The mood arrives, once the result is achieved he puts him on ice with a fireball behind Reina.
Lautaro 5 – The more he chases it, the more the goal seems to escape him: eighth consecutive match without a goal. He finds one by chance, but in an offside position. Steps backwards after the forward ones glimpsed at the Olimpico. (From 89' Taremi sv).
Simone Inzaghi 7 – He reinvents the defense and, also to restore automatism to the team, recovers Barella at the last minute. The machine runs beautifully, it doesn't derail, obscuring Como's good performance and keeps the pace of Gasp and Conte. Say goodbye to San Siro on the last of a year, 2024, with the flavor of consecration.
