Inter Milan took three more points in Serie A against Venezia after Federico Dimarco equaled a Theo Hernandez stat.
It wasn’t easy. Nor was it free of drama.
The Nerazzurri won by a scoreline of 1-0. Their winning goal came courtesy of Lautaro Martinez.
But Venezia thought they’d equalized very late in stoppage time, until the goal was disallowed for a handball.
Meanwhile, Inter also missed a few good chances that would have allowed them to kill off the match.
However, in the end the Nerazzurri took all three points.
This allowed Inter to draw to within a point of Napoli at the summit of the Serie A table. The Partenopei had lost their match against Atalanta earlier in the day.
Moreover, Inter and Napoli face off directly in Serie A next Sunday.
Inter wingback Federico Dimarco equalled a creative statistic from AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez in the match, as football stats account Opta noted.
They tweeted, “2 – Federico Dimarco has provided his second assist in Serie A this season, becoming one of only two defenders to have provided more than one assist in each of the last six Serie A seasons (since 2019/20), alongside Theo Hernández. Unselfish.”
