Tonight's clash was the 229th derby between the teams and the most recent was won by Inter with a full 3-0.
Milan, who with a victory can go up in the sole league lead, is undefeated in the league so far and starts the match with Zlatan Ibrahimovic from the start.
After just ten minutes of play, Inter were penalized after former Milan player Hakan Calhanoglu was sent off by Franck Kessie.
The same Calhanoglu then took care of the eleven-meter kick himself and was cool when he gave his team the lead.
