Success misses, Mkhitaryan doesn’t: Inter kicks the hat trick against Udinese
Inter Milan – Udinese 3-1 in Saturday evening’s Serie A advance.
Wasting but also suffering, Inter returned to victory at home by breaking the resistance of an Udinese that was at times beautiful but also not very cynical.
After a first half ended 1-1 as a result of goals by Romelu Lukaku on a penalty kick (penalty made to be repeated after the Belgian’s first mistake because an Udinese player had entered the box before Big Rom kicked) and Lovric, in the second half the Nerazzurri immediately tried to pull ahead, but were exposed to dangerous counterattacks by the opponents. And so, after a colossal chance gobbled up by Dzeko, Sottil’s eleven had an opportunity to pull ahead, but Success’s selfishness, which ended the action with a very weak shot instead of serving teammates better placed than him, turned into a reversal of the front that saw Mkhitaryan overtake Silvestri with a first-time shot after Dimarco’s assist.
It’s minute 73, and the match turns on, with the Friulans pouring forward, leaving prairies for the Nerazzurri forwards. And so, in the 89th minute, Lautaro, who had been idle just 1 minute earlier on one-on-one with the Bianconeri goalkeeper, slotted the visitors’ goal for the third time, sealing the contest for good.
