Inter Milan extended their lead at the top of the Serie A table with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Udinese, thanks to a late goal by Davide Frattesi. Frattesi’s winner came in the fifth minute of stoppage time, securing the crucial three points for Inter. This victory maintains their 14-point lead with only seven matches remaining in the season.
Frattesi’s goal not only brought joy to Inter fans but also inched the team closer to clinching the Serie A title. The midfielder’s decisive strike ensured that Inter could face their local rivals, AC Milan, in a potential title-deciding derby in two weeks. The victory over Udinese was a significant step towards securing their 20th Scudetto.
Inter’s head coach, Simone Inzaghi, praised his team’s resilience in coming from behind to secure the win. Despite not playing with the same flair as before, Inter’s determination and fighting spirit have kept them on course for glory. With a total of 82 points, Inter now have the opportunity to break the single-season points record of 102 set by Juventus in 2014 if they can win all their remaining seven matches.
The match against Udinese saw moments of brilliance from both teams, with Udinese taking a surprise lead through Lazar Samardzic. However, Inter’s persistence paid off, with Hakan Calhanoglu equalizing from the penalty spot. The game seemed destined for a draw until Frattesi’s late heroics sealed the victory for Inter.
As for Udinese, the loss further complicates their battle for survival in Serie A, as they are currently just two points above the relegation zone. With tough fixtures against Napoli, Roma, and Bologna still to come, Udinese face a daunting task to secure their top-flight status.
Frattesi’s late goal not only underlined Inter’s title credentials but also showcased the team’s ability to grind out results in challenging matches. With the Scudetto within their grasp, Inter will be looking to maintain their focus and determination in the final stretch of the season to secure the much-coveted league title.
