by Gianluca Luceri 05 August 2020Interport also confirms the good form in the Europa League: at the 'Veltins Arena' in Gelsenkirchen beaten the tough Getafe 2-0 in the dry match of the round of 16 and men of Conte who reach the quarterfinals, where next Monday they will challenge Bayer Leverkusen-Rangers' winner (3-1 for the Germans, clearly favorites, in the first leg match in Scotland before the lockdown).

The first 20 'complicated for the nerazzurri, in difficulty on the aggressive pressing of the Bordalas team who confirms themselves as tough and equipped with excellent technique and that goes very close to the net on two occasions: on the 2' on the head of Maksimovic, who finds the amazing answer of Handanovic, and at 19 'on the close conclusion of Mata on which Bastoni puts a decisive patch, favoring the subsequent intervention of the Slovenian goalkeeper. After taking a risk, Conte's men begin to take the field and the game changes its balance. Double chance on the feet of Lautaro Martinez: at 25 'a great Soria is opposed in diving to the insidious right cross of the' Toro ', who tries again at 27' from the limit but the number one of the Spaniards still says no. Menacing moments later, D'Ambrosio also slipped on Brozovic's free-kick (28 '). The goal is around the corner (33 '): long throw by Bastoni for Lukaku who defends the ball very well on the pressure of Exteita (naive) and hits the center with a left-handed diagonal surgical. For the Belgian it is the thirtieth seasonal ring.

Shooting. Inter tries with Barella and D'ambrosio, Getafe responds with the header of Mata (slightly angled) that Handanovic raises plastically above the crossbar. At 76 'things could get complicated: penalty for the Spaniards after a touch of Godin's hand on Jason's cross (long check and then Taylor at the Var). Molina goes from the spot but sends to the side. Heavy mistake. Lukaku is drinking the possible doubling (79 '), Molina tries to redeem herself in reverse (80'), Eriksen enters the 82 'which after not even sixty seconds closes the match taking advantage of a disaster defensive intervention by Djenè who badly rejects on the feet of the former Tottenham (83 '). At 90 'Sanchez is all alone in front of Soria, try the spoon but the precision is not there. Game over. The Nerazzurri adventure continues.
