Coming off the bench to bring vitality to an attacking department that had been uninspired until that moment, Pio Esposito was the man of the match who secured the three points in Inter-Lecce thanks to his goal. A hugely important goal for the title race that the 2005-born player had been waiting for and that will give him new confidence to face the upcoming challenges of the season. These are the ratings given to him by the main sports newspapers:
LA GAZZETTA DELLO SPORT 7 – The twisting header is the bell that rings to signal the end of recess: ding dong. A few moments later, with his usual determination, he pounces on the rebound from Lautaro’s shot to unlock the match. This is a title-winning goal.
CORRIERE DELLO SPORT 7 – The Nerazzurri striker flexed his muscles when it was needed most. The goal, of enormous importance, provides a rush of adrenaline for the upcoming matches as well.
TUTTOSPORT 7.5 – The rating is all for a goal that could be fundamental in the context of the title race.
PASSIONE INTER 7.5 – Changes the game. First, he tests Falcone with a very difficult header, then unlocks the match with determination after a great play. He also nearly doubles the lead with a great shot just wide of the post.
