Game Recap

Inter traveled in Tuscany aiming to get back on track after suffering a derby defeat by Milan recently, followed by a European defeat at Atlético Madrid. However, they were made to battle all the way by newly-promoted Pisa. The home team created numerous chances, but a efficient Inter broke the deadlock in the 69th minute mark when Argentinian Martínez drilled a first-time shot into the top of the net. The forward then tapped in from point-blank with seven minutes remaining.

Inter’s capacity to score despite pressure was decisive in securing the victory.

However, Moleiro delivered the final say deep into added time.
