At the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Inter beat Verona by a narrow margin in Saturday night’s match of the 35th day of Serie A and remains -3 from the leader Napoli with three days to go.
The Italian champions scored the decisive goal in the 9th minute on an igore kick converted by Asllani and awarded by Manganiello after a VAR consultation for Valentini’s hand foul in the area.
Verona responded with Sarr committing Martinez in the 16th minute. In the 30th minute Zlewski crosses for Arnautovic who fails to hit a header. In the 44th minute Asllani comes close to a one-two with a shot from the edge just high.
On 76′ Hellas comes close to equalizing with Tchatchiua, Dimarco saves with his back. Inter wins and keeps faint Scudetto hopes alive.
