July 16, 2020 Inter dismisses Spal 4-0 in Ferrara and goes solo to second place in the standings 6 points behind leaders Juventus. The Nerazzurri are one point above Atalanta and two above Lazio. For the Estensi a defeat that confirms the last place in the standings: only the math says that it is not yet Serie B.

Murgia and Strefezza outside of 4-4-2 by Di Biagio who in attack relies on the 'heavyweights' Cerri and Petagna. Eriksen owner after two games on the bench, Lukaku at rest, the points of Conte are Lautaro and Sanchez. On the Candreva and Biraghi sides. First guest brand emotion, Brozovic splinters the post (5 ') with a low shot from the edge. The Spal does not give up playing and returns the wood, Petagna's turn in the slide hits the crossbar in full (19 '). Inter are not very continuous and the best things do it again. Letica goes close to the mess with a defective postponement, Sanchez from 35 meters does not frame the poles (but slightly). Chilean (like Eriksen) very active, he is the one to inspire the goal of the advantage in the 37th minute with the opening that frees Candreva only in front of Letica. Strefezza arrives right on Petagna's suggestion but puts aside for Handanovic's disturbance in low exit.

Inter accelerated at the start of the second half to close the discussion. Excellent filter by Lautaro for Sanchez, Letica opposes. Great opportunity wasted, but the doubling comes shortly after (55 '): Biraghi brings the ball to the right at the top of the area and packs a dry diagonal that slips near the long pole. The outside becomes an assist man in the 60th minute when he puts the 3-0 ball on Sanchez's head. The Spal continues to skid, a wretched back pass sends Sanchez to the bottom line after missing Letica, an inaccurate passage for Eriksen in tow. Poker however arrives: Young (who took over from Biraghi) receives comfort in the area and serves Gagliardini for the easy touch two steps from the goal line (74 '). Last quarter of an hour completely superfluous.
