Inter beats Torino 2-0: Calhanoglu scores twice.
Catwalk it had to be and catwalk it was. After winning the scudetto with five days to spare, theInter brings home the fourteenth home victory in this championship, the forty-second consecutive match with at least one goal in Serie A. In the San Siro celebration, a good Turin holds up, at a low pace, until they are left with ten men due to Tameze’s expulsion at the start of the second half, which leaves some doubts. To the Nerazzurri of Simone Inzaghiwho in the first half also abandons himself to the chants of the fans for a moment, three minutes of fire are enough, in which two goals arrive: he scores them both, one on the fly and one from the spot, Hakan Calhanoglu, among the symbols of the Inter season and among the protagonists of the party that starts from the final whistle and will end late at night in the setting of the Duomo. TO Ivan Juric There remains bitterness and some recriminations, as well as a ranking that increasingly sees European qualification as a mirage for the Granata team.
The TMW live of Inter-Turin
Inzaghi jumps with the fans: 0-0 at half-time. The atmosphere is that of a holiday, the rhythms of the first half recall those of a pre-season friendly. The highlight comes from Simone Inzaghi, when he decides to jump on the spot in response to the fans’ chants, melting his usual seriousness for a moment into a smile. Torino goes man for man and in the opponent’s area relies above all on the usual Zapata, who challenges Sommer closely around the quarter of an hour of play. Inter struggled to break the deadlock, the last call went to Lautaro, who wanted to get back to scoring and created space for a shot from outside: a call for VMS. And the teams return to the locker rooms on the classic scoreline.
Three minutes, two goals. The story of the match changes two minutes after the start of the second half: Tameze knocks out Mkhitaryan launched towards goal. Referee Ferrieri Caputi recognizes the yellow, the VAR calls her to the monitor and reviews the decision: Toro with ten men for almost the entire second half and the effects can be felt immediately. Barella steals a ball from the unfortunate Lazaro which arrives, via Mkhitaryan, to Calhanoglu: sharp right-footed shot and nothing for the Granata goalkeeper to do. Another three minutes and the second goal arrives: Lovato knocks out Thuram in the area, zero doubts. Calhanoglu himself goes from the spot, after having tried in vain to offer the ball to captain Lautaro. Perfect serve and the doubling knocks out Torino, starting the round of substitutions.
