Inter expels Udine with a thrill
Udinese-Inter 2-3
After the defeat in last week’s derby against AC Milan, Inter regained the three points by defeating Udinese 3 goals to 2 at home, with Frattesi’s goal and Lautaro Martinez’s brace able to banish the dark clouds that, after Kabasele’s momentary equalizer were beginning to loom over the Nerazzurri’s environment. In the final Lucca shortened, but it was not enough.
The beginning of the match at the Bluenergy Stadium was a dream for Simone Inzaghi’s team, since Davide Frattesi, after not even a minute of play, was able to score with an assist from Darmian: the former Sassuolo player’s conclusion was not really irresistible, but Okoye was far from effective and the ball entered the net.
Udinese's reaction finds concretization in the 35th minute: on Zemura's cross from the right, the Belgian defender, in one of his offensive sorties to help the team on free kicks, imperiously breaks away and hits the ball, sending it behind Sommer. The 1-1 lasts forò relatively little becauseé in the recovery of the first half Lautaro Martinez finds the winning shot, thanks to a favorable rebound to the Argentine striker for 2-1.
At the start of the second half è again El Toro to score, after just two minutes: Thuram takes advantage of Bijol's mistake on the edge of the area and serves Martinez himself, who fires an impregnable right-footer for Okoye and puts his signature on 3-1. Is it all over? No, because Udinese at 83'83' managed to shorten the gap with Lorenzo Lucca, who was good at getting past Calhanoglu and not getting hypnotized by Sommer.
The Bianconeri believed, but failed to sting further: Inter celebrated, which joined Milan on 11 points and overtook precisely the Friulians (who remain at 10) in the standings.
