Inter, who were eliminated on Wednesday from the Coppa Italiana against Bologna (1-2), were not surprised again at the San Siro by Lecce (2-0) and consolidated their lead in Serie A. Atlético’s Champions League rivals maintain their four-point lead about a Juventus that opened the day on Saturday defeating Frosinone (1-2). The Nerazzurri They took 11 to the third, a Milan which on Friday was punctured in his visit to the bottom team Salernitana (2-2).
Simone Inzaghiunlike the Coppa, lined up the best possible eleven other than Lautaro Martinezwho retired with discomfort against Bologna and was replaced by Marko Arnautovic, a first-time Serie A starter.
Arnautovic missed two good chances
The Austrian striker had two clear chances to open the scoring in the first 20 minutes, but goalkeeper Wladimiro Falcone He blocked his shot in front of him and, in the second, he came out with everything in his favor after a good wall between Marcus Thuram and Nicolò Barella.
Despite Lecce’s non-conformist and spirited start, Inter imposed their dominance and poured in a few more early goals that earned them a goal.
Bisseck made his debut as a scorer
This one arrived but its author was new. Yann Bisseck warns a shot against the post for a corner at the near post kicked by Hakan Çalhanoglu and a few minutes later, in the 42nd minute, the young German center-back, established in defense at 23 years old after arriving in the summer from the Danish Aarhus, scored his first Serie A goal in another set piece action. This time the Turk took a free kick and Bisseck headed into the net with his back to the goal.
After the break Lecce went further. His trainer, Roberto D’AversaMohamed Kaba was brought in instead of the Catalan Joan Gonàlez and his team improved.
In the 49th minute, The referee awarded a penalty for a handball by Carlos Augusto that was not there and later overruled at the VAR’s request.
Backheel assist from Arnautovic
Lecce had a moment, but wasn’t worried about insurance Yann Sommer and Inter ended the sentence. With a quarter of an hour remaining, Arnautovic passed the ball back to Barella with good heel support which left the Italian midfielder alone against Falcone, who he stopped before he was beaten.
At 2-0, Inter broke free having finally banished the specter of cup disaster and, already ahead after seeing Lameck Banda receive a straight red card for protesting the referee, managed to score. And defensively he finished his 11th game, in 17 days, without a goal. There is a reason why the leader is the highest scorer (41) and the fewest goals scored (7) in Serie A.
