The match ran at a high tempo from the early minutes. Both teams exchanged attacks. Lazio got a chance in the 11th minute when Ciro Immobile’s pass was followed by a volley by Daichi Kamada. However, Yann Bisseck was able to immediately close the shooting space.
After that, the match went flat. Until finally, Lautaro broke the deadlock in the 40th minute! The goal started from a mistake by Adam Marusic who intended to pass to goalkeeper Ivan Provedel. The ball was cut by the Argentinian striker, went past the goalkeeper, and hit the empty net!
Behind by one goal, Lazio tried to get back up in the final five minutes of the first half. Unfortunately, there was no chance to equalize the score. Inter Milan led 1-0 at the break.
After the break, Maurizio Sarri’s men played better. Nicolo Rovella penetrated from the middle and penetrated the Inter defense in the 48th minute. Unfortunately, when facing one-on-one with Yann Sommer, he failed to complete the opportunity because the goalkeeper’s leg blocked him.
Having fun attacking, Provedel even had to pick up the ball for the second time from the goal net in the 66th minute. Nicolo Barella’s action ended with a mature pass towards Thuram who immediately fired a shot at the far post to give Inter a 2-0 lead.
After five minutes, Henrikh Mkhitaryan peeked at the opportunity with his shot. However, this time Provedel was quick to secure the goal. Lazio, who were trying to find a goal, actually had to play with 10 people after Manuel Lazzarri was sent off in the 86th minute.
Unfortunately, Inter could not take advantage of the superior number of players to add goals. The 2-0 score lasted until dispersal.
