Festival of goals at the San Siro where Inter went 0-2 down in the first quarter of an hour, coldly hit by Abankwah and Ekkelenkamp, ​​then turned on the turbo and scored 5 with five different players: Carlos Augusto, Barella, Thuram, Pio Esposito and Bonny. The Friluanos close the gap at 90 with Gueye. The Nerazzurri take the lead over Roma who had won 2-0 in Turin in the afternoon.

The match

Another comeback and another turnaround for crazy Inter who this time went two goals down against Udinese, reacted and then spread until they won 5-3. Nightmare start for the Nerazzurri, while the Friulian fans cherish the repeat of the miracle after last season's victory. But when Chivu's team decides to do badly, it is difficult to emerge unscathed. And at San Siro, Inter takes the lead by taking the top of the table together with Roma, filling Saturday's big match with expectations and emotions.

Chivu looks at the calendar and the top clash with Roma on Saturday, chooses to give Lautaro Martinez some rest, focusing on Pio Esposito-Thuram. Calhanoglu is not injured and Dimarco has space in the second half. Stones makes his debut in the 1st minute but will have to leave the field in the second half because he is not at his best. The first half has a double face.

First the Nerazzurri's lethargy and Udinese who, with resourcefulness and order, took advantage of Inter's missteps. Then comes the reaction of Chivu's team which rebalances the result. Ready to go and sensationally, Inter are down at San Siro against the Bianconeri. In the 9th minute, goal from Abankwah who heads Gomez's cross completely undisturbed. It's a contest of blame. Errors by the central defenders, Martinez does not remedy.

The Nerazzurri tried immediately with Thuram in the 14th minute but the Frenchman's header following a pass from Barella was neutralized with a dive by Okoye, who was also good at repelling the second attempt from close range. But Inter's mistakes aren't over. Diouf and Stones make mistakes, once again Davis manages to serve a teammate two steps from Martinez and Ekkelenkamp doubles.

It's a shocking start. A situation must lead to reflection, because Inter have conceded six goals in their last three games. Too many for the ambitions of Chivu's team. The coach must understand what isn't working, why the defensive department is unable to communicate and organize itself. As happened in Madrid, however, it was Carlos Augusto who put the Nerazzurri back into the game with a long-range shot from the left that didn't make Dimarco regret it.

The Nerazzurri change their attitude and bite. In the 35th minute Barella also scored an equalizer with an angled right-footed shot. Another comeback for the Nerazzurri at San Siro, as happened against Napoli. It's a completely different team than the one at the start. At the start of the second half Inter immediately looked for the opening goal. But Okoye, with a great diving save, denies the goal to Mkhitaryan who tries from distance with a very angled shot.

Udinese tries to grit their teeth and cling to a draw that would still feel like a feat. But crazy Inter - as we know - can change everything in a matter of minutes and when it decides to take over it is difficult to counter it. As happened against Napoli, Inter also reversed this match with Thuram's goal assisted by Diouf. At that point Inter takes off: Jones for Zielinsky who first serves Pio Esposito who drops the poker with a diagonal.

There is also room for Bonny's five: Okoye rejects the attacker's first attempt then does nothing on the tap-in. There remained a few too many inattentions in the rear and in the 46th minute Udinese scored the third goal, which didn't deserve such a large defeat. Gueye scores and takes advantage of Pavard's uncertainties in movement.
