Top-ranked team successfully resists Genoa’s advances to clinch their 12th consecutive victory.

In a thrilling match, Inter Milan secured a 2-1 victory over Genoa, extending their winning streak to an impressive 12 games in a row. The Nerazzurri’s first-half goals from Kristjan Asllani and Alexis Sanchez proved to be enough to secure the win and further solidify their position at the top of Serie A, now with a commanding 15-point lead. With each passing game, Inter’s 20th Scudetto seems more like a matter of when, not if.

On the other hand, Genoa can take pride in their performance both in this match and throughout the season so far. Currently sitting comfortably in 12th place, they are 10 points clear of the relegation zone. Despite the loss, Genoa showcased their determination and resilience against the league’s best side.

The match got off to a slow start in the first half, but Inter’s quality soon became evident as they executed a well-worked play that allowed Asllani to smash in a close-range goal. Shortly after, luck was on their side as a penalty decision went in their favor, giving Sanchez the opportunity to score his first Serie A goal of the season from the spot. This doubled Inter’s lead and put them in a commanding position.

The second half saw Inter come out with renewed energy, but it was Genoa who managed to find the back of the net, halving the deficit with a sublime volley from Vazquez. However, this would be the only goal for Genoa as Inter Milan’s professional and efficient performance proved too much for them to overcome. Despite giving their all against the league leaders, Genoa was unable to find an equalizer.

Inter Milan’s ability to see out the game and secure the victory further demonstrates their dominance in Serie A this season. With their eyes firmly set on the title, they continue their march towards glory.
