Below are the Passione Inter report cards.
SOMMER 7 – Como forces him with a couple of not too complicated shots. Great reflection on Nico Paz in the second half, which was decisive in preserving the Nerazzurri's lead.
BISSECK 6 – He gets a heavy yellow card already in the first half, but it's the only flaw in a very defensively attentive match, with some interesting offensive outings. The warning costs him an early substitution. Valley 74′ DE VRIJ 6 – In to defend the lead.
STICKS 6.5 – Deployed as the central defender of the 3, he tries to direct his teammates and set up the game. He wins one-on-one with Belotti, demonstrating how his confidence in this role is growing, also thanks to his experience in the national team.
CHARLES AUGUSTO 7.5 – He raises his range consistently, but lacks a bit in terms of quality in the first half. Finds the play at the start of the second half, scoring from a corner. He blocks the 1-0 with a miraculous save that counts as a goal. His second half is worth remembering.
DUMFRIES 6 – A penalty kick is eaten on the move in the first half. His incursions are a great weapon for the Nerazzurri, but he lacks a bit of precision in the decisive play.
STRETCHER 6 – More aggressive than usual, his insertions can be an interesting tactical solution. He lacks a bit of precision compared to usual, perhaps also due to the last minute recovery for today's match. Dal 74′ ZIELINSKI 6 – Comes in to consolidate possession.
CALHANOGLU 7 – Not an easy play against Como's pressure, which forces him to vary a lot to find space. Pennella a fantastic assist on a corner kick. Usual consistent presence even when not in possession.
MKHITARYAN 6.5 – Inter struggled to dribble and so he too lowered his center of gravity. Precious in the second half in maintaining the defensive balance of the Nerazzurri midfielder, thanks to his usual very intelligent positioning. From 89' FRATTESI sv – Inside the finale.
DIMARCO 5.5 – Less in the heart of the game than usual, he doesn't find an understanding with Carlos Augusto. He has a very good opportunity on the right, but shoots weakly. More lively in the second half, but it doesn't have the usual incisiveness. Dall'80' BUCHANAN 6 – Try to take advantage of his athleticism.
THURAM 7.5 – His individual ideas always light up Inter's maneuver, both when he looks for individual play and when he works for his teammates. He puts the exclamation point on his match with a fantastic goal, which closes the match.
LAUTARO MARTINEZ 5.5 – He struggles to be found by his teammates and to free himself from Como's marking. He wants to score goals, but this leads him to make unclear choices. Dull evening. From '89' TAREMI – Remnants of the race.
INJAGHI 6.5 – Como has personality and makes possession a bit difficult for their team. We need a great start to the second half to break the deadlock immediately. You can feel a little tired, but the advantage is managed securely and the final doubling certifies 3 fundamental points.
