Inter confirmed their status as the league’s most in-form team, beating Genoa 2-1 to take their tally of consecutive Serie A victories to nine. A result that is worth +15 on second-placed Juventus and brings the Nerazzurri ever closer to the Scudetto.
The match is not easy for the hosts, who have to sweat to get the better of a tough and determined opponent. The first half balanced, with few chances on either side. Unlocking the result was a play by Asllani, who in the 31st minute took advantage of an assist from Sanchez and scored his first goal in an Inter shirt. The double came six minutes later, thanks to a penalty convert by Sanchez, who was foul in the box by Frendrup.
Genoa surprise Inter in the second half
In the second half, Genoa showed great character, trying to get back into the game. In the 54th minute the Ligurians shortened the gap with a great goal by Vasquez, who volleyed a ball rejected by the Inter defence from outside the area. Genoa continued to push, putting the Nerazzurri rearguard in difficulty, but failed to find the equalising goal. Inter managed the advantage, controlling possession and coming close to scoring the third through Barella.
The match ended in success for Inter, who once again demonstrated their strength and solidity. The Nerazzurri are ever closer to the Scudetto dream, while Genoa remain in mid-table, with a decent margin on the relegation zone.
