Serie A: winner of Hellas Verona, Inter Milan puts pressure on AC Milan
Inter Milan dominated Hellas Verona (2-0) this Saturday afternoon as part of the 32nd day of Serie A. This success allows the formation of Simone Inzaghi to return temporarily to one point behind the AC Milan in the standings, including Hellas in 9th place. The leader rossonero moves this weekend on the lawn of Torino, Sunday evening at 8:45 p.m.
A one-sided first period allowed Inter Milan to make the difference. Only worried by a strike from Simeone well diverted by Handanovic (35th), the Nerazzurri took the advantage in the 22nd minute, thanks to a superb recovery from the outside of the left of Barella, forgotten at the far post on a cross from Perisic .
De Vrij injured at half-time
The Croat had thought to open the score four minutes earlier, but his strike had been deflected from the end of the glove by Montipo. If the goal was refused to him, Perisic was again decisive passer on the second goal, by extending with the head a corner of Dimarco for Dzeko, quicker than the opposing defense to slip the ball into the back of the net (2- 0, 30th).
Without De Vrij, hit in the thigh and replaced at half-time by D’Ambrosio, Inter managed their advantage after the break. More sluggish in the game, the Milanese had several opportunities to worsen the score, in particular by D’Ambrosio after a lightning counter-attack. But Montipo was still on parade by diverting his shot on the post (73rd).
