Udinese 1-2 Inter Milan: Davide Frattesi’s late goal crushes the hosts’ hopes and brings Inter one step closer to clinching the Serie A title.
In a thrilling Serie A TIM match between Udinese Calcio and FC Internazionale, it was the latter who emerged victorious with a 2-1 win. The hero of the day was Davide Frattesi, whose 95th-minute goal secured the three points for Inter Milan. This victory also helped them maintain their commanding 14-point lead at the top of the table.
Udinese, a team fighting to avoid relegation, faced a daunting task against the runaway league leaders. However, they defied expectations and took a gutsy lead just before half-time. It was a moment of defensive calamity for Inter Milan, as Yann Sommer and Denzel Dumfries failed to deal with Lazar Samardzic’s cross, allowing it to trickle into the net.
This unexpected setback seemed to awaken Inter Milan from their slumber. They quickly responded, with Hakan Calhanoglu scoring a penalty in the 48th minute to level the score. Both teams had opportunities to snatch a late winner, but it was Frattesi who ultimately broke the hearts of the home fans.
Despite Lautaro Martinez’s goal drought extending to four games, he played a crucial role in the winning goal. His injury-time shot hit the post and rebounded straight to Frattesi, who made no mistake in finding the back of the net.
This victory further solidifies Inter Milan’s position as the favorites to clinch the Serie A title. With their 14-point lead intact, they continue their relentless pursuit of domestic glory.
