Alessandro Bastoni lived up to the saying ‘the end justifies the means,’ going to great lengths to give Inter a numerical advantage.

Indeed, he tricked referee Federico La Penna into showing Pierre Kalulu a second yellow card toward the end of the first half.

That moment decided the match, with Inter claiming a late 3-2 win at San Siro.
