(35′ Kabasele, 83′ Lucca; 1′ Frattesi, 45’+3 and 47′ Lautaro)
Udinese’s report cards – Edited by Antonino Sergi
Okoye 5.5 – Joys and sorrows, this time he completely misread Frattesi’s goal after forty seconds. His intervention was clumsy, then he redeemed himself on Thuram. He saves the save, he also puts a damper on Correa.
Kabasele 6.5 – He started badly, losing the first duel with Thuram who almost found the joy of scoring. The goal galvanizes him, the header from Zemura’s cross is excellent. It closes with a crescendo.
Bijol 5 – Under the eyes of those managers who observed him, he definitely had a bad day. On Lautaro’s first goal he was unlucky with the rebound, but very bad on the second when he completely missed the timing of the save.
Toure 5 – After good signs in the Italian Cup, he was unable to repeat his debut as a starter in Serie A. Not even forty seconds before Frattesi was put in behind, he only saw the Nerazzurri midfielder celebrate.
Ehizibue 5.5 – A game of suffering on his wing throughout the match, Dimarco runs out of gas on the left and is never able to take the right corrective measures to limit the Nerazzurri’s thirty-two. Slightly better in the second half.
Lovric 5.5 – In the best moment of the match he tried to move forward with some interesting insertions, which were blocked by Dimarco when he put the ball into the net in the first half. However, he takes a few too many breaks. From 59′ Ekkelenkamp 6 – He comes in and gives greater quality to the Friulian maneuver.
Karlstrom 6 – Ordered in the middle of the field, he gets a warning that he could have avoided but he is the classic midfielder in front of the rearguard. Play simple and without overdoing it. From 74′ Atta sv.
Zarraga 6 – He manages to get enough in a complicated match for Udinese, he covers a lot of kilometers in the middle of the pitch to help in the defensive phase and tie up the game. Positive performance. From 87′ Bravo sv.
Zemura 6.5 – The positive note of the afternoon from Runjaic’s team certainly doesn’t make Kamara regret it. Perpetual motion on the left in the first half, he moves to the right and provides the assist for Kabasele. One of the most active.
Thauvin 6 – The lighthouse of Udinese, all the dangerous actions pass through the Frenchman’s left-footed player. This time he is more caged by the Nerazzurri rearguard, but the best ideas are his. Drops in the second half. From 74′ Brenner 6.5 – All he needed was one good ball to send Lucca through.
Davis 5.5 – Favorite to Lucca from the first minute, complicated match for the Runjaic striker. Closely marked by Acerbi, in melee on very rare occasions he gets the better of the physicality of the Nerazzurri centre-back. From 59′ Lucca 7 – He enters, communicates well with Brenner and adds liveliness to the end of the race. Excellent impact with the challenge.
Kosta Runjaic 6 – Three more goals on his back, like in Rome but this time he plays his game. He paid for the defensive errors against Inter, the emergency behind made itself felt against the Nerazzurri champions. However, it gives Inzaghi’s men shivers, they play it man against man and the draw is played out until the end.
Inter’s report cards – Edited by Ivan Cardia
Summer 6 – Two goals against and practically no saves to be made. We return to ordinary administration, with nothing left to say as usual.
Bisseck 5 – The pros: they inzaghino to the extreme, you can find it almost everywhere around the pitch, in an excellent match from this point of view. Cons: he is responsible for both Udinese goals, Kabasele has too much space and against Lucca he is the one who comes out with bad timing. Defensive blackouts on which he must work, also because the goals conceded are two: as many as his errors..
Unripe 6 – Big and big as he is, don’t be scared of Davis. Lucca’s push, which at the end reopens a match that seemed closed, has a generational aftertaste.
Sticks 6.5 – Dangerous at the start, he touches the net twice. Behind him he has little effort and proposes to pass the ball. He also gives cold chills to the fans when he messes up at the end of the first half: Davis pardons him. (From 75′ De Vrij 6 – Not very busy).
Darmian 6.5 – He returns to the starting line-up and immediately delivers the assist for his team’s instant advantage. He also has the opportunity to score, as the minutes pass he goes on autopilot.
Frattesi 7 – Barella is in the pits, three races full of flavor Schadenfreude for those who have to demonstrate that they can keep up. He can’t believe his eyes when Udinese opens the door for his favorite fundamental. Of course, there is work to be done on the maneuver. (From 86′ Zielinski sv).
Calhanoglu 6.5 – More inaccuracies than usual and it’s news, but he offers a game of solid and reliable direction, in the first half he also puts Lautaro on goal.
Mkhitaryan 6 – It is a special observation, after a dull start to the season. He plays it in full: clearer message, Inzaghi just couldn’t send it. Generous, at the end with the reserve light on
Dimarco 7 – Sumptuous first half, best on the pitch: he creates a flurry of chances for his teammates, the close on Lovric is worth a goal. At the end of the half, he assisted Lautaro’s goal. He returns for the honor of signing in the second half, then the scheduled relay. (From the 65th minute Carlos Augusto 6 – It pushes less, also because the game requires this, without any fuss).
Thuram 6.5 – At the start of the championship he seemed to have become a cynical goal-scoring animal; today the usual generous and powerful feline seems to have returned, beautiful to look at and perhaps wasteful. The feeling with the gentleman below is excellent. (From 75′ Taremi 6 – A goal rightly not validated and not much else).
Lautaro 7.5 – The missing goal weighs like a boulder. He searches for it and doesn’t find it, in the end he gives it to her Eupalla and within three minutes (excluding half-time) he scores a brace, to remove any doubt: he is unblocked. Now, who knows, he will look back and notice that, despite all the hype, it was only six games. (From 86′ Correa sv).
Simone Inzaghi 7 – He finds himself at a crossroads: to get out of it, he focuses on the team that made him and made him successful. Half a vote more because it made a victory that was not so simple and even less obvious seem ordinary: at times Inter also seems like the one from the good days. The fact remains that the handover – any reference to Zielinski is intentional – will arrive sooner or later. There also remain those phases in which the lights go out and the opponents punctually score.
