Coppa Italia, Inter to quarterfinals without headaches: Venezia falls 5-1

Inter to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia, after the San Siro victory over Venezia came without any kind of headache for the team coached by Cristian Chivu. The Nerazzurri got the better of their opponents 5-1 thanks to the signatures of almost all the strikers in the squad: after Andy Diouf unlocked the score, in fact, Pio Esposito, Yoan Bonny and also Marcus Thuram, author of a double, scored. Only Lautaro Martinez remains dry, but because his Wednesday night is spent entirely on the bench. For the Lagooners, entered in the Serie B championship, the flagship goal came thanks to Sagrado.

L’Inter wants to set the record straight from the first minutes, and in fact already before 10′ Sucic comes close to taking the lead. Then the Nerazzurri put victory and passage to the round on the table with three knockout blows in very quick succession. On 18′ it is, as mentioned, Diouf who puts the home team ahead, making the most of Frattesi’s great service with a lethal low shot. Already on 20′ comes the doubling, however, when Esposito collects an only seemingly harmless ball outside the area and with a counter-balance shot turns it into a bolide that knocks out Venezia. After two more chances for Frattesi and the same Esposito, Thuram drops the tris at 34′ with a precise relay shot on an assist from Zielinski.

A de facto game already closed after one half, but in the resumption Inter did not limit itself to academy. Already after three minutes from the resumption of play Grandi denies Luis Enrique a goal, but nothing can at 51′ on the framing of the usual Thuram once again served by Frattesi. The pinwheel of changes did not change the substance of the match. At 66′ there is glory for Venezia, however, when Fila serves Sagrado who makes his way into the box and finds the way to goal: Martinez also displaced by a Carlos Augusto deflection. At 75′; then, Bonny finally closes the accounts: delightful when lethal his volley on Mkhitaryan’s bank.

Venice therefore eliminated and Inter in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia. Here it will face the winner of the clash between Roma and Torino, scheduled, however, for next January.
