The triumph away from home against Venezia this Sunday, 1-0, puts Atalanta past the intermediaries. They are only behind Napoli
Inter returns to second place in the Italian championship. This Sunday, 12/1, he went to the Pierluigi Penzo Stadium to face Venezia, valid for the 20th matchday. And they did well. After all, they won 1-0, thanks to a goal from Darmian in the first half. A fair but poor triumph for a team that tried to attack, with 60% of ball possession and 17 to 6 shots.
Inter thus has 43 points, compared to 42 for Atalanta (who have already played in the group). Behind only Napoli, who have 44 points and are playing in the group. But Inter have the game in hand. Venezia is in the relegation zone. With 14 points he is second to last.
Darmian scores and Inter wins
Venezia, aware of Inter’s technical superiority, played a very careful match, closing in on defense and with rare counterattacks in the first half. So much so that he saw his rival finish 12 times to 2. So it was Inter, still in the lead, who had the best opportunities and took advantage of one in the 16th minute. Lautaro Martínez receives the ball in the area and hits the goal. The goalkeeper partially saves, but the ball is right for Darmian to send into the net. And Inter had the opportunity to expand at least twice more with Iranian striker Taremi, who sent two balls close to the post.
In the second half Venezia was a little more offensive. He also sent a ball to Sommer’s post, with Busio and in the final he gave goalkeeper Sommer a hard time. But Inter are the ones most in danger and are unable to improve only thanks to the good saves of goalkeeper Stankovic, as well as on a shot by Frattesi towards the goal. In any case, Milan is hot on the heels of the league leaders.
