In the fight for the premier class, Inter Milan missed an important success in Serie A. Even a goal by Robin Gosens was not enough to win at US Salernitana on Friday (April 7th, 2023).
The former German national player, who was recently ignored by national coach Hansi Flick, scored the opening goal in the early stages (6th minute). Striker Romelu Lukaku, who was racially insulted during the week after his late penalty goal in the cup semi-final against Juventus (1-1), prepared the goal with a header.
Gosens and Lukaku then had the chance to make the result clearer in the first half. The Belgian later missed the best chance of making it 2-0 with a crossbar header from just a few yards out (65′), otherwise goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa kept the hosts in the game with numerous saves – and that was rewarded. A cross from Antonio Candreva slipped so happily that it ended up in the Inter goal for a late equalizer (90′). However, Inter were lucky in one scene: Boulaye Dia hit the crossbar with a direct acceptance in the 71st minute.
Dry spell continues
Because of the equalizer, the result crisis of the Milanese persists. Inter has been without a win for six competitive games and has only picked up one point from the past four games in the league. The team is in danger of falling out of the Champions League again.
With 51 points, Inter have overtaken their local rivals AC Milan, who are tied for the same number of points. AS Roma (50 points, against FC Torino) and Atalanta Bergamo (48 points, against FC Bologna) can overtake Inter on Saturday.
