Lazio 0-2 Inter
Goals: Lautaro Martínez (40th) and Thuram (66th) for the Nerazzurri
Expulsion: Lazzari (87th) on the Lazio side
Inter from Scudetto!
Traveling to Lazio, Inter once once more proved that they are the boss of this Serie A. Solid, the Nerazzurri signed a great victory which more than ever consolidates their first place with four lengths ahead of their runner-up from Turin and nine ahead of their cousin Red-black (third). With this setback, Lazio is no longer moving forward and is in eleventh place, nine lengths from the podium. However, facing the undisputed leader, Lazio showed itself to be enterprising: rhythm, technical accuracy and verticality. But if Maurizio Sarri’s men increased their attacks, they struggled to find the fault once morest the best defense in the championship. And inevitably, when we don’t achieve our highlights once morest Inter, we get penalized. Especially since Marusic decided to offer an early Christmas gift to the Nerazzurrithe Montenegrin defender seeking to play behind his goalkeeper: Lautaro Martínez anticipated and dribbled past Provedel to score his 29th goal in 2023, making him the top scorer in the club’s history in the same year in the 21st century (0-1, 40e).
It was upon returning from the locker room that the Biancocelesti got their first real opportunity, through Rovella: the Roman midfielder stole the leather from Çalhanoglu and set off on a solitary raid, but lacked lucidity in front of Sommer (48th). Except that, although enterprising, Lazio showed itself incapable of realizing its highlights. Inter stood back and waited for the fateful moment to strike: on a poorly returned ball, Barella found Thuram on his left and the French striker crucified Provedel with a cross strike (0-2, 66e). Lazio never recovered, and Lazzari was even sent off at the end of the match following uttering bird words towards the referee Maresca (86th).
Fun fact: Simone Inzaghi’s first victory with Inter on the pitch of her former team.
