With a clear victory at the Olimpico, Inter has cut down Lazio’s hopes delivering a clear message to all of the Serie A. Simone Inzaghi‘s team is hungry for the championship and will do everything to defend the tricolour obtained in the past season. In a match where, after taking measurements in the initial minutes, the black and blue team conquered a clear territorial dominance by scoring a goal from the spot by Hakan Calhanoglu.
Regarding the first Inter goal, born from a hand foul by Gigot in the action of the goal cancelled to de Vrij due to an irregular position of Lautaro Martinez, let’s see what the referee’s replay of this morning’s Lazio-Inter was like from La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Here’s the analysis of the main episodes: It starts well advantage given to Lazio after Barella’s foul on Zaccagni, 5’ but 4 yellows in the first half is too much. What Calhanoglu gets for just grazing? Rovella in a low duel and running is excessive. However, the card for Pedro at the 32’ against Barella is missing. At the 36’, same action and two truths: on a corner kick, the goal by de Vrji cancelled for offside position of Lautaro; all of this is chronologically skipped by the Var Mazzoleni – who – first – sees an evident hand of Gigot in an aerial duel. It’s a penalty. All goals are regular: Carlos Augusto steals the ball in a clean way from Tchaouna before the 0-5.
