Inter still knockout against Sassuolo: neroverdi see salvation again

A resounding result could reopen the salvation race.

Inter knockout, for the second time in Serie A during this triumphant season. And, as in the previous circumstance, the defeat comes against a Sassuolo that in this way tries to bid for salvation again: credit to the Mapei Stadium's 1-0 result of Laurienté s goal and a collective error of the Nerazzurri rearguard.

Inter largely re-stocked on the field of a Sassuolo well moreù hungry, and on the field it shows. In fact, the first two clear chances are of the neroverde brand (Thorstvedt and Lipani), then comes the game-winning goal. He scored it on 20' Laurienté, thanks to an assist from Doig that came però after a rather trivial mistake by Dumfries who was too soft in controlling the ball on the Emilia attack's left flank. Just Dumfries and then Lautaro Martinez and Sanchez tried in vain to give the Nerazzurri the equalizing goal, then in the first half recovery è the Var to deny it to the same Lautaro.

Resume that starts at a low pace, also thanks to a Sassuolo that tries to concede as little as possible to the champions of Italy. Starting from the hour of play Inzaghi plays all five substitutions in less than a quarter of an hour, but only in the final comes a chance worthy of being called such: è Kumbulla to close everything on Arnautovic.

For Inter arrives as said the second defeat of the season in Serie A after the one in San Siro against the same Sassuolo, which instead rises to 29 points and pins Udinese. The salvation quota, currently consisting of the 31 of Verona, Empoli and Frosinone, è now definitely more within reach.
