Who played and scored for Inter in 7-2 victory in internal friendly against U23s | OneFootball

Six different Inter players were on the scoresheet as the Nerazzurri beat the newly-formed U23 side 7-2 in an internal friendly to begin Cristian Chivu’s pre-season preparations.

The Nerazzurri took part in what was technically their first pre-season friendly of the summer on Sunday morning in what has been a busy summer following the inaugural edition of the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.

Practically the entire Inter first-team squad got valuable minutes under their belts during an internal friendly at the club’s training ground on Sunday, with Chivu naming two different XIs for each half.

The first-team fell behind early on after an eighth-minute opener from Matteo Spinaccè, but the scores were level three minutes later after an equalising own goal from Issiaka Kamate.

New signing Ange-Yoan Bonny was the first of the senior players to get his name on the scoresheet, which was then followed by another equaliser from 18-year-old Mattia Mosconi for 2-2.

A penalty from Kristjan Asllani and a goal from open play by captain Lautaro Martinez ensured that the senior side ended the first half ahead at 4-2.

Francesco Pio Esposito hit the first Nerazzurri goal of the second period, and was soon followed by a goal from another new signing in Luis Henrique, and then one more from Hakan Calhanoglu to round things off in the 90th minute.
