Inter benefits optimally from Lazio and Milan slips

Inter could therefore do excellent business in the hunt for a Champions League ticket. However, the first danger came from Sassuolo, who thought to open the score in the eleventh minute. Domenico Berrardi worked the ball into the net, but the goal was preceded offside. The VAR therefore put a line through that hit.
Inter did not get into the game and had to ensure that the visitors had the best opportunities in the first half. Four minutes before the break, however, it was the birthday boy Romelu Lukaku who took the lead for the home club. He made it 1-0 with a brilliant bang, so that he was involved in no fewer than seven goals in his last four Serie A matches (including the opening goal against Sassuolo).
Second half
