Internazionale took the three points on Saturday evening. Visiting Venice i Nerazzurri a simple 0-2 win across the line. Ridgeciano Haps made a handball in the final phase, which resulted in the second Inter goal. Hakan Calhanoglu had already opened the scoring earlier. Internazionale thus comes to 31 points, which means that the club has only one point less than shared leaders Napoli and AC Milan, who are still in action on Sunday.

Inter, where Denzel Dumfries started on the bench and Stefan de Vrij was still missing due to a hamstring injury, dealt a striking blow to competitor Napoli (3-2 win) last Sunday. The Milanese again fully participated in the battle for the championship. Soon the eleven of trainer Simone Inzaghi went on the hunt for victory. With the help of conductor Calhanoglu, Inter created opportunities for Alessandro Bastoni, Ivan Perisic and Calhanoglu himself; Perisic’s attempt in particular required a lot of effort from Venezia closing post Sergio Romero. After 34 minutes Calhanoglu found the hole.

The playmaker lashed out from about twenty yards and the ball sailed hard and low into the left corner. It was the first time in the Turk’s career that he managed to find the net three games in a row. Not long after, Mattia Aramu gave Inter a shock. Samir Handanovic barely managed to tap over the header of the Venezia attacker. The visitors went to rest with a lead; the home team wanted to change that immediately after the break. Yet again Aramu’s effort sailed well past the far corner. After an hour of play, Inter came back into the game better. A corner from Federico Dimarco landed on the head of Milan Skriniar and Haps proved his worth by taking his header off the line.

Romero made a save on a bet by Edin Dzeko, before Dumfries came in in the 71st minute. The Dutchman saw how the rest of his team was starting to get tired and Venezia was just looking for the equalizer. However, it did not come anymore; the club even got a second one. Haps got the ball unnaturally against his arm in injury time and Lautaro Martínez was allowed to score the penalty. The Argentinian shot in flawlessly for the 0-2, which also meant the final score.
