Inter consolidates third place

After Milan's victories (see own report) and Roma, Inter were under a bit of pressure on Sunday evening at the “Stadio Benito Stirpe” in Frosinone. However, the Milanese were not impressed by this for much of the game and with a 3-1 win they scored three important points in the fight for the Champions League places.

After the 0-0 draw against Atalanta a week ago, Inter presented a powerful performance from the start and played relaxed at times. In the 19th minute it was Radja Nainggolan who, after a cross from Danilo D'Ambrosio, scored with a powerful header from around eight meters into the bottom left corner to give Inter the lead.

Almost 15 minutes later, the big favorite from Milan followed up. After a corner kick, Frosinone's Raman Chibsah dragged Inter defender Milan Skriniar to the ground. Referee Davide Massa pointed to the penalty spot. Ivan Perisic safely converted the penalty.

In the second half, the home team, who were in acute danger of relegation, became more courageous; Francesco Cassata scored after 61 minutes with a long shot from around 18 meters.

Frosinone continued to fight bravely against the impending defeat. Inter took up the fight, but kept putting needles in the attack and had the decision on their feet thanks to Mauro Icardi, among others. Marco Sportiello, on loan from Atalanta, made a strong save against the Argentine striker in the 86th minute.

In added time it was Matias Vecino who converted an exemplary Inter counterattack after a pass from Icardi to make it 3-1.
