An away setback for Inter U23 in their final match of 2025. Vecchi’s side were beaten at the Rigamonti by Union Brescia on Matchday 19 of Serie C Group A. After a balanced and hard-fought contest, the hosts struck twice in stoppage time to seal a 2-0 win.
The match began at a high tempo and was very physical, with both teams careful not to leave too much space. Inter U23’s first real threat came in the 24th minute, when Topalovic tried his luck from the edge of the box, but his right-footed effort was deflected and went wide. Two minutes later the Nerazzurri created their first clear chance: Lavelli struck a first-time shot inside the area from a good position, but Gori reacted sharply to make the save. Inter continued to push for the opener and, in the 39th minute, it was again Topalovic who went close, though his effort failed to hit the target. After three minutes of added time, the first half ended goalless, with the deadlock firmly intact.

The second half began without any major chances in the early stages. In the 57th minute, Inter had a good opportunity through Berenbruch, who found a pocket of space but underhit his effort from a promising position. The hosts replied through Di Molfetta, whose long-range shot was comfortably dealt with by Raimondi. Union Brescia grew stronger in the dying stages of the game: in the 62nd minute, a cross from the right travelled across the entire Inter penalty area, with Boci firing over from close range. Inter tried to threaten late on through Agbonifo with a long-range effort in the 82nd minute, but the shot flew over the bar. The turning point came in stoppage time. In the 93rd minute, Silvestri rose highest from a corner to head home the opener, and moments later, in the 97th minute, Cazzadori capitalised on a defensive error and, one-on-one with Raimondi, wrapped up the match at 2-0.
