Inter’s five in 41′, Hellas Verona overwhelmed

Five of Inter, Hellas Verona swept away

A roll, that of the Nerazzurri, on Hellas Verona: 5 to 0 after 40 minutes, which will then also be the final result in front of 27 thousand spectators of which 3243 in the guest sector and other thousands of Nerazzurri fans scattered around the Bentegodi. For Inzaghi’s team è it was little more than a training session ahead of their Champions League engagement against Leipzig on Tuesday evening at the San Siro. On the other hand, Hellas, which hasn't beaten Inter in 32 years and will have to wait again, è was the protagonist of an incomprehensible performance beyond the opponent: just as incomprehensible è was the lineup fielded by coach Zanetti.

Standings: Inter 28 momentarily leading the standings, Verona 12. Next round (13° day): Cagliari-Verona (Friday, Nov. 29 at 20.45), Fiorentina-Inter (Sunday, Dec. 1 at 18).

First half. Hellas with the turbo in the beginning. Tengstedt hits a glaring cross of the posts (6'). Inter answer at close range: Correa, taking advantage of a defensive indecision, is making the Nerazzurri lead, providential Montipò. Then Carlos Augusto’s shot, ball going out on the outside of the net. Inter with the ball of the game, Hellas waiting for spaces to open up. Inter free kick: Acerbi turns header, ball wide at the second post. Out goes Acerbi injured for De Vrij in the Nerazzurri. Amazing vertical action by Inter, Correa with a soft touch makes the Nerazzurri lead at 17'. Five più later Thuram, snapped on the offside line, makes it 2-0. Photocopied by Thuram, Thuram made his third at 25'; 3 to 0 Inter. Poker signed De Vrji at 30'. 40': missing 5 to 0, Bisseck did it. Hellas netting capitoretto. 

Second half. Start of the resumption and Inter close to the sixth goal: Montipò è miraculous on Zielinski. Time drags toward the 90th minute with an Inter side more concerned about not wasting energy ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League than anything else and a stunned Verona. It ends 5 to 0 for Inter, momentarily the leaders.
