Inter – Udinese has always been a mangy match for the Nerazzurri; the Friulani have often inflicted unexpected defeats, sometimes undeserved but other times clear-cut. The last in order of time was last season. In a packed Dacia Stadium, Inter only managed to beat Udinese in the final minutes thanks to the man of providence, Davide Frattesi.
Inter, Frattesi is the providence man
The midfielder is no stranger to heavy goals, such as against Verona; on that occasion his goal earned him the title of winter champion, while in this one he sends the Rossoneri cousins back to minus 14. It does not matter if the match was not as Simone the beautiful has accustomed the fans; what matters is the 3 points and the Scudetto that is approaching step by step.
In the first half the match saw, as usual, the Nerazzurri control the match with Udinese well-placed to defend their own goal and ready to restart on the counter-attack. It was precisely on a counter-attack that Samardzic’s goal was born, good but also very lucky to find the net on a cross-shot on which neither Dumfries nor Sommer intervened.
An indecision that cost dearly, especially in the face of the miracles of the Friulian goalkeeper, a real surprise and one to keep an eye on.
Nerazzurri comeback in second half
In the second half the usual monologue, with the Nerazzurri looking for the draw. At the tenth the Nerazzurri equalized with Cahlanoglu, good at transforming the umpteenth penalty for a foul of the goalkeeper on Thuram, and this time one cannot speak of a near miss.
The usual Nerazzurri monologue and Udinese ready to strike on the counter-attack; Mikitarian was good at anticipating Thauvin in front of Sommer. A round of substitutions, with Simone inserting Sanchez for a 4 3 1 2 and Nerazzurri more and more with the ball of the game.
At the 95th minute the goal of the victory and the Nerazzurri’s delight with Frattesi, who was able to easily put into the net a shot by Lautaro deflected by the goalkeeper on the post and Nerazzurri jubilation. For Inter and Inzaghi, there is little time left…
