Final result: Inter-Como 2-0
Reina 6 – Inter didn't appear much in their area in the first half but they were attentive to Dimarco's close range shot. He can do nothing about Carlos Augusto's header and Thuram's fireball.
Goldani 6 – He's the best of Como's rearguard. Always attentive in marking when the Nerazzurri attack from his side.
Dossena 5.5 – Perfect in marking in the first half. At the beginning of the second half, however, he lost the mark on Carlos Augusto who went very high and scored the goal that gave the Nerazzurri the lead.
Kempf 5.5 – On a couple of occasions he leaves the ball there but Dumfries pardons him by throwing away a colossal opportunity. From 75' Barba sv.
Van der Brempt 5.5 – Struggles against the duo of Dimarco and Carlos Augusto. Together with Dossena he shared the marking error in the goal that gave the Nerazzurri the lead.
Sergi Roberto 5.5 – Cala drops in the second half and at the start of the second half loses the ball which leads to the corner kick which allows Inter to break the deadlock. From 66' Kone 5 – He enters the field very badly, losing two bloody balls that could have cost him and his teammates dearly.
Da Cunha 6 – He is the beacon of Como, all the balls pass through his feet and he always manages them, or almost always, in a clean manner.
Fader 6.5 – Deployed as fifth on the left, he is one of Como's best. He shows a lot of resourcefulness and, at the end of the first half, scares Inter with a deep cut and a shot that soils Sommer's gloves. From 88' Cerri
Paz 6 – A match more about substance than quality. A couple of flashes that scared the Nerazzurri defense, like the acceleration in the central part of the first half that led him to finish from the edge. Halfway through the second half he has the ball to bring the match back to parity but Sommer blocks his way.
Strefezza 5.5 – In the first half he is the first to press the opposing defenders, in the second half he drops like all his teammates and finds no ideas in the last quarter of the pitch. From 65' Cutrone 6 – He shows up with a header that doesn't scare Sommer.
Belotti 6 – He is often left alone to fight against opposing defenders but he is good at making passes and letting his players move up, allowing openings for the maneuver. From 75' Mazzitelli sv.
Cesc Fabregas 6 – His players put Inter in difficulty for 45 minutes. Then, thanks to the tiredness and reaction of the Nerazzurri, they suffer from the quality of their opponents and have to surrender to the brawl of Carlos Augusto and the magic of Thuram. Overall, a good performance from Como which can give confidence ahead of the direct clash with Lecce next week.
