Stefan de Vrij participated for ninety minutes with Inter, while Kevin Strootman was on the field at Genoa the entire game.
The meeting at the Giuseppe Meazza was just half a minute old, when Inter already got the desired lead. After a combination with Lautaro Martínez, Lukaku rushed towards the edge of the sixteen-meter area, after which the club top scorer produced a successful shot towards the bottom left corner: 1-0. The early opening goal was no reason for Inter to slow down, as after fifteen minutes of play, the home team could almost double the margin. Lukaku had a good through ball on Darmian, who, face to face with goalkeeper Mattia Perin, drew the short straw: no goal.
Three minutes later, Nicolò Barella became dangerous on behalf of Inter with a shot from the second line; this time, however, it was the bar that prevented a hit. After the attempt for a field goal, the pace fell somewhat out of the game. The home team relied on a good outcome; Genoa, which did not get a single shot in the first act, on the other hand, was unable to crack the Milan defense.

Lukaku got the ball in front of his feet after a throw-in and found the free-standing Darmian in the penalty area, who, without having to take it, suddenly pushed the leather diagonally behind Perin: 2-0. The final chord was played fifteen minutes before time by substitute Alexis Sánchez, who headed the 3-0 against the ropes from the rebound. Thanks to the victory, Inter, which collected 56 points, is more firmly in the lead in Serie A, although AC Milan, which sails in the wake with 49 points, will have the chance to return to the margin later on Sunday when visiting AS Roma. reduce.
