This year’s Scudetto looks like it’s hard not to be painted as a scumbag! THE Inter took another derby, this time through the ‘Olimpico’, beating 2-0 Lazio and is now at +5 from the second Juventusshowing that he is the absolute favorite to conquer the top of Italy.
He reached 250 Serie A matches but Barela left with an injury problem, he reached 29 goals in 2023 and Lautaro Martinez equaled Giuseppe Meazza’s record, while the Argentinian striker scored his 9th away goal, most of every other time in his career!
In pure competition, the first half was balanced and at an excellent pace, with both teams having their chances to open the scoring. With the “Lazio” threatening mainly with Immobile and the “Nerazzuri” with Tiram and Lautaro. The minutes ticked by and the goal looked imminent, as it did in the 40th minute thanks to the incisiveness of Lautaro Martinez, who smelled a mistake in the opposition defense and slotted past Provendel for 1-0 at half-time. The Argentine, in fact, dedicated his goal to Bahía Blanca, the region in which he grew up, which is affected by weather phenomena and has resulted in a few dozen deaths.
It was a similar picture in the second half, with Inter striking again in the 66th minute when Barella broke to Tiram and he fired a diagonal finish past the Lazio keeper to make it 2-0 amid loud boos from… everyone from the home fans who were watching another match go disastrously.
Minutes ticked by, nothing changed and the visitors looked closer to a third goal than Lazio in reducing the score. With Lazzari cursing the referee and being sent off in the 86th minute, 2-0 remains Fabio Maresca’s final whistle at the ‘Olimpico’.
