Inter-Parma 3-0 at the end of the first half: penalty by Calhanoglu, goals by Thuram and Sucic. Total domination

At the 28th minute of the match at San Siro, Inter leads 1-0 against Parma. The Nerazzurri are in full control, with the Gialloblu showing only timid signs of a reaction in the last moments.

The first goal of the match came in the 18th minute, from a penalty kick. In the 17th minute, referee Bonacina resorted to an on-field review after a contact in the Emilian area between Esposito and Diego Carlos, initially not sanctioned amid protests. The review lasted only a few seconds: penalty for Inter. From the spot, Calhanoglu stepped up and scored, even though the execution was not perfect: goalkeeper Corvi intercepted the ball but was unable to stop it.

In the moments leading up to the goal, the match offered several chances. In the 21st minute, the combination between Esposito and Dimarco ended with a powerful shot from the winger, saved by Corvi. In the 12th minute, Thuram laid it off for Calhanoglu, whose shot went over the bar. In the 4th minute, Dimarco shot first time on a rebound after a move by Diouf, with Corvi again the protagonist.

Parma still tried to be dangerous: in the 6th minute, a long-range shot by Elphege was saved by Martinez, while in the 8th minute the same Elphege shot over from inside the box. In the 25th minute, the first corner of the match for the visitors arrived, confirming a partial Gialloblu awakening.

Before kick-off, the Curva Nord displayed a choreography dedicated to the hundred years of the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, with a huge banner reading “Stadio Giuseppe Meazza 1926-2026” and the word “centenario” formed with cards. The coin toss was carried out between Dimarco and Delprato in front of Bonacina.

The line-ups: Inter: Martinez; Pavard, Bisseck, Carlos Augusto; Diouf, Sucic, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Esposito, Thuram. Parma: Corvi; Delprato, Diego Carlos, Troilo; Carboni, Keita, Sierro, Valeri; Touré, Fabbian; Elphege. Referee: Bonacina. VAR: Paterna.
