In a thrilling Serie A encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, Inter managed to earn three points against Roma with a final score of 1-0. The decisive moment came in the 5th minute of the first half when Ange Bonny scored, setting the tone for the match.
As the game progressed, Henrikh Mkhitaryan came close to extending Inter’s lead, but his shot hit the post in the 83rd minute, leaving the score unchanged.
Bonny was undoubtedly the standout player of the match, with his single goal and two attempts on target demonstrating his attacking prowess. Equally impressive was Inter’s goalkeeper, Yann Sommer, who made five crucial saves to keep a clean sheet against Roma.
Roma’s coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, opted for a 3-6-1 formation, featuring Mile Svilar in goal, with Mario Hermoso, Gianluca Mancini, and Evan N’Dicka forming the defensive line. The midfield was composed of Zeki Celik, Bryan Cristante, Manu Koné, Wesley França, Matías Soulé, and Lorenzo Pellegrini, with Paulo Dybala leading the attack.
On the other hand, Inter, directed by Cristian Chivu, deployed a 3-5-2 strategy, anchored by Yann Sommer in goal and supported by Manuel Akanji, Francesco Acerbi, and Alessandro Bastoni in defense. Their midfielders included Denzel Dumfries, Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Federico Dimarco, while Lautaro Martínez and Ange Bonny were the forward pair.
The match was officiated by referee Davide Massa.
Looking ahead, Roma will face Sassuolo in their next outing, while Inter is set to take on Napoli at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. Currently, the home side occupies third place with 15 points, while the visitors lead the league with the same points total.
