Serie AIt had to come from the toes, but the Internazionale of Denzel Dumfries and Stefan de Vrij temporarily holds the lead. Empoli was pushed aside with great difficulty. With this, Inter put pressure on fellow townspeople AC Milan.
Alarm phase 1 with the home team. Within five minutes, Inter faced a 0-1 deficit. Even before half an hour of play, Empoli even doubled the lead. And Inter, where Stefan de Vrij and Denzel Dumfries started in the base, could not use a defeat in the blistering title battle. In a defeat, AC Milan could extend its lead to five points if it beat Hellas Verona on Sunday night.
Inter came back before halftime thanks to an own goal from Simone Romagnoli, after which Lautaro Martinez equalized: 2-2. After the break, the Argentine striker gave Inter the lead, which caused an explosion of joy at the Inter camp. Empoli collapsed like a house of cards and shot just once in the entire second half against the home side’s nineteen attempts.
Alexis Sanchez finally decided the game with a goal in stoppage time: 4-2. This is how Inter kept their title aspirations alive and the team of trainer Simone Inzaghi did what it had to do: win themselves and thus put pressure on AC Milan. The difference is one point.
