MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Another victory for Simone Inzaghi's Inter, who beat Como 2-0 and responded to Atalanta and Napoli, remaining in their wake. The goals, both in the second half, by Carlos Augusto first and then Thuram were decisive, against a Como team who still held their own against the Nerazzurri in a complicated match.
Good start, in fact, by Fabregas' team, well placed to screen the Inter advances, constant but not easy to materialize. The first real chance of the match arrives in the 33rd minute, on the combination between Dumfries and Mkhitaryan which favors the Dutchman, who is not precise from an excellent position inside the area in the conclusion which ends high. There was a lot of balance between the two sides and Inter struggled to become dangerous in Reina's area. Dimarco will try at the end of the first half, at the end of a nice maneuver that leads the Inter winger to turn with his right, which however is weak and central, therefore harmless for the Como goalkeeper. Zero-nil and half-time at the San Siro, with Inzaghi who returned to the field and nothing changed in his eleven and this proved him right just three minutes after the restart: corner calibrated well by Calhanoglu and exploited to the maximum by Carlos Augusto, who with his aerial delivery beats Reina and puts Inter ahead. Como trying to raise the engine revs, becoming dangerous in the 62nd minute with Nico Paz, good at being found unmarked in the area but not so good at kicking powerfully towards Sommer, who thus manages to block. The match thus enters its final phase, in which Inter tries to restart in search of the second goal, in front of a Como team lacking energy after a careful and orderly performance. In fact, it was in injury time that the Nerazzurri put the exclamation point on their victory, with Thuram's goal which, starting from the right, found the light for a powerful right-footed shot which Reina could do nothing about. It is the Frenchman's goal that closes all discussions for Inter and sends the match at San Siro to the final credits.
