Dzeko does not fit
Still in good shots, Dzeko finds himself in the box and tries a sudden strike! It is way above!
Dzeko in a big night
At 37, Edin Dzeko shows the full extent of his talent with a small bridge and acceleration in the center of the field! He tries to throw Lautaro Martinez but it’s countered.
Inter a notch above
In involvement, aggressiveness and precision, Inter Milan is in total domination. Tonali fakes a foul before the surface friends the referee doesn’t flinch.
Bennacer is going out, alert for Maignan
Hard blow for Milan with the premature exit of Ismael Bennacer, replaced by Junior Messias! Mike Maignan seems to complain regarding his foot but will keep his place.

Big atmosphere in San Siro
The atmosphere is quite crazy at the San Siro stadium, the sound never goes down! Free kick for Inter taken by Dimarco and it will be a corner!
No strong possession yet
The two teams fail to hold the ball in these first minutes, which gives a very choppy game.
