20:12 – The summary of the match: Giroud and Leao offer the derby to Milan
Last season, Milan won the Serie A title without managing to win against Inter in the two derbies. This season, nothing says that Milan will finish at the top of the standings again, but the Rossoneri managed to beat the Nerazzurri on Saturday afternoon, after a breathless match (3-2). However, it is Inter who start this meeting better and who manage to take the advantage after a superb action concluded by Brozovic (0-1, 21st). A goal that will wake up the Milan players, who quickly equalize by Rafael Leao (1-1, 28th). Under pressure, Inter holds the shock and the two teams return to the locker room on this parity score.
But the Interists end up cracking at the start of the second period. Untenable, Rafael Leao served Olivier Giroud perfectly for the 2-1 goal (54th) before signing a double by taking over the Nerazzurri defense alone (3-1, 60th). Inter did not lose hope, managed to get their heads above water and reduced the gap thanks to Edin Dzeko, who had just come into play (3-2, 67th). Behind, it is the Frenchman Mike Maignan who will ensure the success of his people by multiplying the stops of high class in front of the players of Simone Inzaghi. Despite this complicated end to the match, it was Milan who won in this Milan derby against Inter, which allowed the Rossoneri to temporarily take the lead in the Serie A standings.
