Frattesi mocks Verona in the 94th minute: Inter is winter champion
A very heavy victory, which comes in extremis after a very complicated game.
Inter are Serie A winter champions even arithmetically after a 2-1 win at the San Siro against a stout Verona. But the Nerazzurri suffered not a little against their opponents, who remain in the midst of the relegation zone and trembling in view of the matches of their direct competitors. Davide Frattesi, who entered the field in the final and scored the winning goal, proved decisive. With time largely expired, then, the author of the momentary Scaligeri draw Thomas Henry sends on the post the penalty that would have allowed the gialloblù to reach again the hosts.
The game at San Siro soon unlocked: as early as 13' Bastoni and Thuram built for Mkhitaryan, who was good at finding Lautaro Martinez who beat Montipò and put Inter ahead. The match seems to be going downhill, but it isn't so: already, in the remainder of the first half, Verona tries and comes close several times to equalizing, which then arrives in what seems to be the final stages of the match.
After seeing Lautaro Martinez's double cancelled out for offside, in fact, Inter failed to close out the game and at 74' seemed to pay dearly for it. Henry, on the field for a handful of minutes, in fact took advantage of a counterattack set off by Magnani and Ngonge and on an assist from Duda mocked Sommer. The Nerazzurri threw themselves forward and among the various cards at the end of the game Simone Inzaghi played that of Frattesi. And precisely the latter at 94'signed the winning goal at the end of an action that had seen Bastoni hit the crossbar and Montipò save everything on Barella. It isn't over yet: Lazovic is sent off, Barella and Sanchez fail to score their third in a two-on-zero situation, but above all, the Var considers a Darmian intervention on Magnani as foul. È penalty, even at 99', but Henry fails the transformation and Inter wins the match graduating as winter champion.
