With a goal in the last minutes from the Dutchman Denzel Dumfries assisted by the Chilean Alexis Sanchez, Inter rallied to avoid defeat against a good Lazio (1-1) which boosts its chances of finishing sixth in Serie A against Roma.
Lazio, now tied for sixth with Roma (5th), will hope to qualify for the Champions League as long as Atalanta win the Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday and finish in the championship’s top four of Italy.
Lazio stood up
In a match where Lazio stood up to the champions, on the road since that derby against Milan that crowned them for the twentieth time in their history, he showed up. Dumfriesa defender accustomed to the rival area, to score in the 87th minute with a header, from a lateral free kick, and spoil a major victory for the ‘biancocelesti’ in a European key.
The Croatian Igor Tudorwho gave the team a facelift after his arrival due to the resignation of Maurizio Sarrithey entered the San Siro with everything in search of spoils against a competitive team but no tension, with the only incentive to give their coach, Simone Inzahi, a victory over his former team.
So much so that in the 4th minute, the people of Rome took the lead a great goal from Argentine Valenín ‘Taty’ Castellanoscanceled due to an illegal position after VAR intervention.
Kamada scores 0-1
But the truth is that the intensity of the visitors was maintained throughout the first half hour to tie an Inter team that struggled to get into the game and suffered the consequences. Japanese people Daichi Kamadaalmost dismissed during Sarri, now a starter with Tudor, took a shot from the front with his left foot to make it 0-1 and put a great ‘laziale’ victory on track.
Inter gradually woke up after the goal and at the beginning of the second half they showed their offensive power, even running onto the post on a corner kick from Argentine Lautaro Martínez, who will be, barring a big surprise, the top scorer of the season.
Dumfries avoid Inter defeat
However, it was not until the last breath of the match that Lazio missed their chance to temporarily put themselves ahead of Roma, who host Genoa this Sunday.
A past center of Alexis Sanchez chased him Dumfries, beat Marusic, to avoid defeat leaving his rival with the obligation to beat a relegated Sassuolo on the last day to improve his chances in the Champions League, where he will also have to wait for results from other teams.
