A goal in each half for the Nerazzurri, who claimed their first win of the season on their home debut.
In Thu-Ta, you are comfortable and the spearheads successes. Inter get rid of Lecce, reform the defense and give signs for the near future: Thuram and Taremi will be brought together again and again. A winning solution given an almost endless season in which there will be many matches. Behind the scenes of the 2-0 win, the certainty of the second star remains: a flash from Darmian, the choice of Inzaghi, and the sniper Calhanoglu, who has scored 18 consecutive penalties with the Nerazzurri in all competitions. Seventeen in a row in Serie A between Inter and Milan. And so far he has not made a mistake.
the goal

The launch of the new pair has already been announced. Tarmi, the practical side of Tho Ta, appeared in front of seventy thousand Nerazzurri trying to take a back kick after twenty minutes. The San Siro shook for a few seconds and then applauded the goal. He, silent but sharp, immediately got up and put himself in the area. All this after having sent the decisive ball to Darmian after four minutes. A cross from Dimarco, a clever shot from the 99th minute and a header from the wing, fresh from the best year of his career. He started with the right foot. At this stage, Inter manage, contain, and are in no hurry to close it because they know what will happen. They exploit Dimarco’s surges and the fragility of the Lecce defense that tries to build from the bottom without light. Gaspar, who was proactive during the friendly matches, this time took a few steps back, lost a few bloody balls and gave away a penalty for 2-0 (a dramatic catch on Thuram in the 69th minute). Guti will also have to review the management of the wings. Banda resumed the tournament as he had finished it, two-faced, proactive when it came to jumping on the man but not so much in ball management. On two occasions he could have put Krstovic in the net. Dorjo was also added to the wings, deployed on the right flank. Confused and inaccurate.

However, Inter are the same as ever. Dimarco sends in crosses in succession, Barella tries his usual header from the right of centre and Bastoni starts the build-up, at least along the left chain. He rushes forward and looks for tips while Pavard contains. However, it is the numbers 9 and 99 who take centre stage: constant drafting, doubles in tight spaces, solid understanding. In the 53rd minute the Iranian swoops like a hawk on a loose ball and builds a move from nothing. He looks like he has been wearing the Nerazzurri for two years already, while Thuram – this time less precise than the Genoa duo – breaks and plays intelligently (a commendable back-heel to free Dimarco). In the 48th minute he shoots wide from an excellent position, then takes an expert penalty. The rest is a plot already seen: Calhanoglu goes to the scene, the goalkeeper on duty tries to guess his direction and misses. Praise for the irony. Like Inter who fly to four points and go out to applause.
