Inter-Sassuolo 2-1: goals by Carlos Augusto, Dimarco and Cheddira

When it touches the Pio Esposito ball, San Siro (albeit silent) stops, sighs and hopes that their jewel will explode with joy together with the Nerazzurri people, in the first as a starter in the championship at Meazza. The feeling is that the eyes of the 68,852 present are all on him, even before Inter-Sassuolo. And almost breaks out, San Siro, when inverted Pio touches the doubling in the second half but only a super intervention by Muric denies him the greatest joy of life. It doesn’t matter. There is time, and even a lot. To beat the Sassuolo, the scratches of the exteriors are enough: first that of Dimarco served well by Sucic, then that of the true MVP, the man everywhere Carlos Augustus who propitiates Muharemic’s own goal. In the end, however, there is also space for fear because Cheddira enters the Inter area as in the entrance of his house and reopens everything.

Chivu, praised by the North Curve through one of the very few choirs who feel from the parts of San Siro, changes something compared to the trip to Amsterdam. “A Martinez will play,” said the Romanian technician, and so it is: there is Josep on goal, while the Lautaro crossed starts from the bench like sticks, De Vrij and MkhiTaryan. On the other side, he plays it with the usual trident. Inter immediately touches the advantage with Pendolino Carlos, just afterwards unlock the other exterior: Pio recovers the ball, Barella overturns everything, rests for Sucic who accommodates for Dimarco and 1-0. Sassuolo doubles, triples, often even quadruples the markings on Chivu’s men. But above all he does what he owes: Tampona, keeps himself alive throughout the game and tries with his own means. Like Berardi, who touches the immediate equal before Inter begin to spoil important goals (Thuram, Dumfries, Esposito).

When they don’t close, the games risk complicating. Inter do not use the occasions, Sassuolo believes in it. Always following Fabio Grosso’s plan. Pinamonti – Just after an slap in Esposito just above the crossbar – detaches freely in the midst of the Carlos -Dimarco couple and forces Josep Martinez to get the gloves dirty, Pio touches the doubling in overturned. But the result is nailed on 1-0 and everything can happen. A perception that also takes hold on the benches, because both Chivu and Grosso try to fish the Jolly (it also touches in Lautaro). With a discreet dose of luck, Inter finds the goal that would allow a mature team to put the result on ice – Carlos’ shot deflected on goal by Muharemovic -, but they pass a few seconds and Sassuolo shortens with Cheddira. The Var cancels Frattesi’s trio in a quite convulsive ending, Josep Martinez saves the result by rejecting the very insidious Berardi. And in the end some smile also runs away to the Nerazzurri house: the final fear is swept away and return to victory also in the championship.
