By beating Verona 2-1, Inter became Winter champions. Thanks to the three points gained today the Nerazzurri have 48 points, and extend their lead over the Juventus who have 43 points and who face Salernitana on Sunday.
The match
Baroni’s team approaches the match very well with a first attempt Suslov al 3′ from inside the penalty area. After 10′ Lautaro Martinez it is served with a filter from Mkhitaryan inflating the net one-on-one with Montipò. Djuric’s header in the 26th minute it’s too central. In the second half, the Hellas Verona equalizes on 74‘ with Henry who, as soon as he entered the pitch, deflected Duda’s cross from the right into the net. In the 79th minute Arnautovic took a header from the Hellas goal Pavard headed to the net: in the 92nd minute the attacker devours a goal with his head with Montipò beaten. After a minute he thinks about it Frattesi to make it 2-1 with the winning tap-in after a first shot by Barella, Lazovic is sent off following protests. The penalty missed by Henry in the 90’+10′ gives Simone Inzaghi’s team the 3 points and the title of Winter Champions.
The controversies at the end of the game
Signed by Frattesi, the decisive goal arrived in the 95th minute in an action that appears characterized by the evident fat Bastoni on Duda. The Nerazzurri defender hits the opponent with one elbowed: referee Fabbri doesn’t see, the action continues, Inter scores. LThe episode is not sanctioned by the VAR and the network is validated. Before it expires, the Var back in action for a contact between Darmian and Magnani in the Nerazzurri area: penalty that Henry misses. At the final whistle, as expected, the debate on X flares up for the episodes that characterized the match. The comments focus on Bastoni’s gestureconsidered too obvious to be ignored by the match director and the VAR. The ones who underline the elbow are above all the Juventus and Milan fans, which controversially underline the ‘recurrence’ of episodes favorable to Inter in the last few days. A week ago, in the 1-1 draw at Genoa, the league leaders’ goal came in an action conditioned by an intervention by Bisseck su Strootman: in slow motion, the Nerazzurri’s drive had appeared evident. Even in that case, however, everything was fine for the referee and VAR.
