🤯 Dimarco shines, Calhanoglu scores: Inter go 13 points clear, 2-0 | OneFootball

Inter gets its hands on the Scudetto: against Genoa, Chivu's Nerazzurri don't suffer any psychological backlash from the Champions League and, confirming their domestic trend, easily dispose of a not very dangerous Grifone. 2-0 for Chivu's team thanks to an incredible goal by Dimarco in the first half and a penalty from the returning Calhanoglu in the second half. Eighth win in a row for Inter and 14 in the last 15.

Inter has a huge lead over Milan: +13, while waiting for the Rossoneri to play against Cremonese, and especially with the Derby coming up, which, more symbolically than mathematically, could put the Scudetto firmly on the Nerazzurri's path.

For Genoa, there will be a battle with the relegation zone, which is only 3 points away. 

❌ Problems for Bonny

In the 76th minute, Bonny comes off after collapsing, probably due to muscle problems or fatigue. His condition does not appear serious, as the Frenchman left the field on his own feet. He had a bandage and an ice pack applied to the upper part of his right calf. 

👀 Calhanoglu risks a red card, then scores on penalty

It was Calhanoglu himself who stepped up to the spot after a clear handball by Amorim. The Turk opens up his foot and doesn't miss. 

Risk for Calhanoglu, who is overtaken by Ekathor for pace and forced to foul. Below is Luca Marelli's analysis of the yellow card for the Turk, 

"He was the last defender, but he's saved by the fact that the ball isn't headed towards the goal but is in a wide area, and also because Carlos Augusto could have recovered and the ball was heading towards the left side. So the yellow for SPA is correct, not for DOGSO."

🤯 IMPOSSIBLE Dimarco Goal: volley like Totti

Sixth goal in the league, in addition to a slew of assists, for a player who continues to perform at an incredible level. With 21 between goals and assists (20 according to Opta), as reported by the League, he is the player with the most goal involvements and the second ever in Serie A.

Truly incredible. 

Impossible goal by Federico Dimarco, Totti-style, at Marassi in the 31st minute, confirming his great form. Assist by Mkitharyan and Dimarco scores a sensational volley from an impossible position.

In the 29th minute, the best chance: Bonny's header and a feline reflex from Bijlow denies Inter the lead.

🧱 Bonny's chance, Bijlow flies. Mkhitaryan hits the crossbar

In the 27th minute, Inter is dangerous again with Mkhitaryan, who shoots from a long distance and hits the crossbar after a deflection. 

The first big chance at the 16th minute is for Inter: Bonny controls and shoots, but Bijlow makes a miraculous save to his left, taking the ball out of the top corner.

🗣️ The words of Chivu and De Rossi

Cristian Chivu, Inter's coach, spoke to DAZN before the match against Genoa. 

"We don't have time to think, we play every 3 days. Sixteenth game in over 50 days and so far we've done quite well in Serie A, but we have to keep marching on with the same mentality.

I expect a very tough match because they know how to defend and have quality. Daniele is doing a great job."

Daniele De Rossi, Genoa's coach, spoke to DAZN before facing Inter. 

"Especially against Inter, you have to dare with quality and run together. I think it's nice to play with them as long as they make sacrifices. This is the toughest match of the season: they are the strongest and play at home. We'll have to make them disorganized, we'll have to face this moment with order and grit, ready to defend like a small team while letting our quality players express themselves."
