Share

07 April 2021Inter advancing in great strides towards the Scudetto: at the 'Meazza', in the recovery (28th day) of the match postponed on March 20 for Covid, the (cynical) Nerazzurri beat Sassuolo 2-1 and fly a + 11 on Milan (second) with nine days to go.

Tricolor count down officially started.

Obiang and Hakimi try, at 10 'the hosts unlock it in the only real chance of the first half: a cross by Young, a splendid head shot by the inevitable Lukaku, at the 21st goal of a sumptuous championship.

A lot of ball possession by the guests, but they never manage to make themselves dangerous.

Recovery.

Little happens until the 67th minute, the minute in which Inter knocks on the door of Consiglio for the second time: lightning fast counterattack, Lukaku triggers Lautaro Martinez who hits the center with a left-handed diagonal.

Goal granted by Irrati after a check with the Var (there is no foul by de Vrij on Raspadori at the beginning of the action).

At 85 'Sassuolo shortens: bad ball lost by Hakimi, Djuricic serves Traorè who bags with a splendid right-footed turn.

In the Nerazzurri recovery close to the trio with Sanchez and Hakimi (fundamental Marlon in closing), in the 93rd minute the goal was canceled by Lukaku, who started in an irregular position.

Game over at San Siro.  

Six months later (it was October 4, matchday three), the much discussed Juventus-Napoli is finally played and at the 'Stadium' it ends 2-1 for Pirlo's team, which bypasses Atalanta and rises in third place (-1 from Milan).

Gattuso's blues remain in fifth position, in any case in the Champions League area.

Ronaldo immediately made a sensational mistake with a header from a cross by Danilo (2 '), Zielinski was no less successful in the 4th minute, kicking high from a very inviting position.

CR7 misses one, but not two: great percussion by Chiesa who drinks Hysaj and Demme, low cross in the center for the Portuguese champion who does not forgive right-footed (25th center of the season).

Try to answer Fabian Ruiz: high conclusion.

At 38 'Cuadrado threatens, but he is unable to angle the shot (Meret blocks), after a slightly high attempt by Insigne.

Recovery.

Buffon opposes Di Lorenzo, Chiesa and Cuadrado do not find the mirror.

Partenopei still on the attack and Buffon saves his foot on Insigne in the 59th minute.

Third opposition of the Juventus goalkeeper, this time on Fabian Ruiz, at 73 'Juve doubles: the newly entered (and revived) Dybala receives the ball from Bentancur and the left square in the corner.

At 90 'the guests reduce the passive: Chiellini knocks out Osimhen, it is a penalty, Insigne's execution is perfect.

But it's too late to get the match back on its feet.
