Inter and AC Milan played a fascinating 1-1 draw at San Siro in the latest version of Derby della Madonnina.
Although dominated by large parts of the race, Inter had to return from a goal to secure a share of the oils.
Inter vigorously started the game, with a goal by Federico Dimarco and Lautaro Martinez, both excluded for the offside in the first half.
Nerazzurri created numerous chances, but were frustrated by fastful finishing and wood, which they denied three times.
Against the course of the game, Milan took the lead shortly before the half. Rafael Leao’s strong route was Yann Sommer, but Tijjani Reijnders was faster to react, shooting the recovery on the roof of the net to put Rossoneri forward.
Inter responded with intensity after the break, but repeatedly frustrated by Milan’s position and goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
The efforts by Yann Bisseck, Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries hit all the wood, while Maignan made several critical savings.
As the clock was down, the pressure of the intestine was eventually rendered. In the 93rd minute, Bisseck gave a cross from the right, which Nicola Zalewski specialized with his breasts for Stefan de Vrij to break the house up close, saving a worthy point for Inter.
