The hosts opened the scoring in the 14th minute, through Kelly, but Inter equalized after half an hour, through Calhanoglu. However, until the break, Yildiz brought Juve to the advantage.
After the resumption, Inter returned to force. Calhanoglu passed his “double”, and Marcus Thuram made 3-2 for the team coached by Cristi Chivu. However, the joy of the Nerazzuri was short, because only eight minutes later, Khephren Thuram, Marcus's brother, restored equality.
The end was incendiary. In the first minute of extensions, Adzic, entered the field in the 73rd minute, sent a superb remote shot and brought the victory for Juventus. Inter tried to force the equalization, but without success. Thus, Chivu's team reaches the second consecutive defeat in the internal championship, after 1-2 with Udinese in the past stage.
In the standings, Juventus stays in the first place, with 9 points, while Inter is currently in 11th, with only 3 points. However, the position of Chivu's band also depends on the results of the other matches of the round.
Cristi Chivu, first reaction after Juventus – Inter 4-3
“We had an excellent benefit, we were led twice and we managed to return the result. We lacked a little understanding at certain times, especially in the last 10 minutes. We have to look at the performance as a whole, we came here to play with personality and dictate the game, not to settle for a little, but we lacked a little clarity in the last 10 minutes, when we had to do something different.
I never look at individual performance. We had to manage the ball better before reaching Dimarco. Since the beginning of the match, when they were in difficulty, they sent the ball to the stands.
I take responsibility for the performance of the whole team, even when led. Hakan has done what he knows how to do, and we need everything he can do.
You have to be good in understanding the moment and when you can do certain things. The team worked hard to return the result: you can train and you can work on habits. We go back home disappoint that we have not won the match“Chivu told Dazn, quoted by Tutto Mercato.
The Italians were indulgent with the Romanian coach
At the end of the match, the Italians gave Cristi Chivu's note 5.5. The journalists in the boot believe that Inter did not deserve the failure recorded in the third stage of Serie A.
“The derby exam is an extremely important one, so maybe that's why he decided to rely on the players who were certainties in the mandate of Inzaghi, except Akanji.
Chivu took a crazy match, did not give up and intervened with changes, even some people with weight, such as Barella and Lautaro, but finally, he sees. Even if it probably did not deserve to lose!“the Italians wrote from Tuttomercatoweb.
