In the midst of the first Slam, with the Australian Open being played in Melbourne, Inter-Pisa adjusted and finished with a tennis score of 6-2. In the pouring rain as many as five goals in the first half of the last match at the Meazza Stadium before the Winter Olympics. And, sensationally, the first two were scored by Pisa, thanks to a Stefano Moreo in a state of grace, an insecure Yann Sommer and an Inter defense that left much to be desired.

On 0-2 Cristian Chivu decides to take off Luis Henrique to insert Federico Dimarco and if at 38′ the comeback is all to go within a few minutes come the goals of Zielinski on a penalty kick, of Lautaro Martinez, served precisely by the newly-entered player, already protagonist on the occasion of the penalty, and then by Pio Esposito, well paced by Bastoni.

After the interval the home Nerazzurri try to accelerate to close the practice but Scuffet keeps a good guard. Chivu takes off Sucic and Esposito and puts in Barella and Thuram: a Dimarco post also comes in to save the Tuscans. Pisa does not give up, even tries to scare their rivals with a header by Canestrelli, but the unleashed Dimarco makes the difference with a conclusion from the distance: the ball touches the two posts before crossing the fatal line for the 4-2. Then it was also the turn of Bonny, who took over at 79′ from Lautaro Martinez, to put his own seal for the 5-2. But it is not over, because on the developments of a corner Mkhitaryan also scores: from the crossbar, of course… Dimarco, from benchwarmer to factotum.
