Verona Fight Back to Hold Inter at Half-Time in Serie A Thriller
It’s turning out to be a thrilling Sunday in Serie A, and all eyes are on the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi where Verona have gone toe-to-toe with title-chasing Inter Milan. At half-time, the score stands 1-1, and what an entertaining 45 minutes it’s been. Inter had made a strong start, looking every bit the superior side they’ve been all season, but Verona refused to back down, and by the end of the half, they had completely shifted the momentum in their favor.
The match kicked off with the Nerazzurri showing real intent to move up the Serie A table. They came into this game knowing that a win could take them level with Roma and close the gap to just one point behind leaders Napoli. From the opening whistle, Inter’s attacking quality was evident. Lautaro Martínez led the line as usual, supported by a confident midfield marshalled by Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Piotr Zieliński.

And it didn’t take long for the visitors to make their mark. Around the 12:49 mark, Inter took the lead through a moment of brilliance. Çalhanoğlu swung in a beautifully weighted corner that found Zieliński lurking near the edge of the box. What followed was pure perfection — a volley struck with power and precision that soared straight into the top corner. It was one of those goals you could watch again and again — straight from the training ground, and it gave Inter the lead they were looking for.
But Verona, playing in front of their home crowd, refused to crumble. As the half progressed, they began to grow into the game, pressing higher and finding gaps in the Inter defense. Just five minutes before the break, the comeback moment arrived. Brazilian forward Giovane, in just his early days at the club, produced a stunning strike to level the score. It was his first goal for Verona — a thunderous finish that left Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer with no chance as the ball flew into the top corner.
That goal completely changed the mood in the stadium. Verona’s confidence soared, and suddenly, Inter found themselves under real pressure heading into halftime. The energy from the home fans was palpable, and with the teams heading to the tunnel at 1-1, everything is perfectly set up for a gripping second half.
For Inter, the challenge now is to regain control and convert their dominance into points. For Verona, the mission is to ride this wave of momentum and possibly pull off a surprise result. Whatever happens next, this one is shaping up to be a classic Serie A contest — full of intensity, skill, and the kind of drama that keeps fans glued to their screens on a Sunday afternoon.
