On the eighth day of Serie A, Inter suffered an unexpected setback: Bologna drew 2-2 at the San Siro.
The start looked promising for the Nerazzurri, who took a 2-0 lead with goals from Acerbi and Lautaro, but Bologna managed to come back and win a point.
In this article we will analyse the key moments of the match and the implications for Inter’s standings.
The initial domination’s Inter
Inter started the match with an unstoppable momentum. Acerbi’s header from a Calhanoglu corner and Lautaro’s powerful shot from distance in the first 13 minutes gave Inter a 2-0 lead. It seemed the game was firmly in control.
Bologna’s comeback
However, Bologna reacted quickly. In the 19th minute, after a foul by Toro in the box, a penalty was awarded, which Orsolini converted despite Sommer’s attempt to guess the direction.
The goal reignited the contest and Bologna showed they were able to resist the Nerazzurri. The first half ended with Inter leading 2-1.
In the second half, italian’s performance waned and in the 52nd minute Zirkzee capitalised on a brilliant pass from Ferguson, tying the score at 2-2.
Coach Inzaghi turns the tables and changes the team. Coach Inzaghi made several changes, inserting Carlos Augusto, Cuadrado and Sanchez.
Despite a goal disallowed to Sanchez for offside, nerazzurri failed to regain the lead. Late attempts and the final whistle: Inter attempted a desperate bid for victory, with a header by Lautaro from a corner and a shot by Carlos Augusto parried by Skorupski.
In the end, the match ended in a 2-2 draw and Inter lost two crucial points at home, which could cost them first place in Serie A.
Milan could go in the first position alone
Meanwhile, city rivals AC Milan faced Genoa and the result of that match could further complicate its position in the league.
Coach Inzaghi will have to solve the defensive gaps and work on maintaining the lead to ensure a successful league campaign.
