During the interval, Esposito comes out, physically injured, and Bonny comes on while in the 66th minute he is also back on the pitch Lautaro.

In the 70th minute Nicolussi Caviglia is providential in anticipating Mkhitaryan a few steps from the goal, two minutes later Dumfries shoots Dimarco’s invitation high from the left.

The 2-0 goal, however, was only a matter of minutes and arrived in the 80th minute: Lautaro sprinted on the edge of offside and put the ball in the center to Mkhitaryan which only needs to be supported online.
In the final, Elphege’s goal was canceled out due to offside by assistman Almqvist. Suzuki saves Frattesi’s possible trio on the line.

At Bonacina’s final whistle, the Nerazzurri party started with three days to spare. Tenth tricolor for Marotta, the first as president of Inter.
