Inter passes by a narrow margin in Empoli and remains on full points

At the Castellani Stadium, Inter won narrowly 1-0 overEmpoli and remains on full points after the fifth day of Serie A, Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzuri are three points ahead of their cousins AC Milan.

After 10 minutes there’è already a sensational chance for Inter: Bastoni’s cross from the left and Darmian’s header beats Berisha but on the line there’è Ismajli who clears saving a made goal. At 35’ Thuram scores but è in clear offside on a Frattesi header.

Inter, which had started well, then got a bit lost but in the sixth minute of the second half it was Dimarco, with a crazy left-footer from outside on the development of a corner kick, who put the Nerazzurri ahead. Five minutes later Thuram came close to doubling the lead with a right-footed shot that was deflected just wide of the corner by the Tuscan defense. Empoli’s flash in 66’ with a Ranocchia free kick repelled on the dive by Sommer.

In 78’ Thuram tries to repeat the incredible right-footed shot from the derby but this time è closer to the goal and the ball goes out. In the 90’ Baldanzi, the mostù dangerous of the hosts, tries but the defense repels, then Arnautovic is hurt. Five minutes of recovery are not enough for Andreazzoli’s team to grab the tie, it ends 1-0 for Inter.
