Inter Milan secured another crucial three points in their pursuit of the Serie A title with a 2-1 victory over Udinese at the San Siro. The Nerazzurri delivered a dominant first-half performance that laid the foundation for their win, but Udinese fought back in the second half, making it a nervy finish for the home side.
Right from the start, Inter showed their intent, pressing high and controlling possession. Their efforts paid off early, with Marko Arnautovic opening the scoring after a perfectly placed cross from Federico Dimarco. The Austrian forward made no mistake, finishing with precision to give Inter a 1-0 lead. The pressure didn’t stop there, as just minutes later, Dimarco was at it again. This time, his delivery found Davide Frattesi, who doubled Inter’s lead with a clinical finish.

Federico Dimarco was undoubtedly the star of the match. Fresh from an injury layoff, he was electric on the left flank, constantly creating chances and keeping Udinese’s defense on edge. His two assists were a reminder of just how important he is to this Inter squad. He nearly capped off his performance with a stunning goal of his own, only to see his effort narrowly miss the target.
While Inter dominated the first half, the second half told a different story. Udinese, under Kosta Runjaic’s guidance, came out with renewed energy and started asking questions of Inter’s defense. Their persistence was rewarded when Oumar Solet scored a sensational goal from 25 yards out, beating Yann Sommer with a thunderous strike. The goal breathed new life into Udinese, and suddenly, the game was wide open.
Inter manager Simone Inzaghi made a triple substitution to try and regain control, but Udinese kept pushing forward. It took a brilliant save from Sommer to deny Lorenzo Lucca an equalizer, ensuring Inter held onto their slender lead. However, the game ended on a sour note for Inzaghi, who was sent off in the final moments for repeated encroachments onto the pitch, his emotions getting the better of him.
Despite a shaky second half, Inter got the job done and remain in pole position in the Serie A title race. With fixtures in the Coppa Italia and Champions League looming, managing the squad’s energy levels will be key for Inzaghi. Meanwhile, Udinese can take positives from their second-half resurgence, knowing they pushed the league leaders to the limit.
Inter fans will be thrilled to see Dimarco back at his best, while Udinese supporters will wonder what could have been if they had started stronger. This was a match that had it all—skill, drama, and a fair share of controversy—leaving Serie A fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the title race.
