Inter-Parma 3-1

The fifteenth day of the first leg of Serie A began with Inter's 3-1 win over Parma: a victory that matured between the end of the first half and the beginning of the second, but that never really seemed in question, also given the statistics that see Simone Inzaghi&#39s team excel in the number of goal occasions, total shots and ball possession.

Already at 9' it seems that the match should go downhill for Inter: Keita knocks down Lautaro thrown into the net, referee Abisso whistles the penalty but the check in the VAR room certifies that the contact è occurred just outside the area. A couple of minutes later Parma lost Balogh to injury (Leoni took his place), while the Nerazzurri pressed and on 17' hit the crossbar with Dumfries, with the goalkeeper beaten.

We have to wait until the 40' for the goal: an exchange in speed between Mkhitaryan and Dimarco, the Nerazzurri lateral recovers the ball and with a precise diagonal beats Suzuki. The 1-0 è the score on which the two teams go to rest. In the second half, 11' pass and Barella, in fact, closes the accounts: è again Mkhitaryan the assist man, with the Sardinian midfielder skipping past the opponent goalkeeper and depositing in the net for 2-0.

Pecchia removed Bonny and Keita at 60' inserting Hernani and Almqvist, but the result did not change and indeed è still Inter scored: to register è this time Marcus Thuram, who at 67' took advantage of Bisseck’s bank on a corner action to score from two steps. At this point, Inzaghi makes Thuram himself, Dimarco Calhanoglu and Bastoni retire, inserting Buchanan, Correa, Asllani and Darmian: the latter, at 81'81', makes an own goal in an attempt to anticipate Man launched to the net, but è an episode that does not really change the economy of the match.

So it ends 3-1 for Inter, a success that allows the Nerazzurri to move back to -1 from the top occupied by Napoli and to put pressure on the same team coached by Antonio Conte, engaged Sunday night against Lazio that Thursday eliminated precisely the Neapolitans from the Coppa Italia.
