Inter Milan secured a thrilling 2-1 win over Verona thanks to a late own goal by Frese.
Inter Milan secured a dramatic 2-1 win over Verona, thanks to Piotr Zielinski’s stunning set-piece goal and a late own goal by Martin Frese. The Nerazzurri had to dig deep to get the three points, with Giovane’s equalizer threatening to derail their chances.
Inter’s victory was far from straightforward, with Verona putting up a strong fight. The hosts were missing several key players, including Suat Serdar and Unai Nunez, but still managed to create several scoring opportunities.
Zielinski’s goal was a thing of beauty, as he swept a perfect volley into the roof of the net from a Hakan Calhanoglu corner. It was the Polish international’s first goal since a brace against Juventus in October 2024.
Verona’s equalizer came just before halftime, as Giovane blasted a powerful finish into the far top corner. The goalkeeper, Lorenzo Montipò, had made several impressive saves earlier in the game, but couldn’t keep the ball out this time.
Inter pushed for the winner in the second half, with Lautaro Martinez and Francesco Pio Esposito creating several chances. But it was a late own goal by Martin Frese that ultimately secured the victory for Inter.
The win is a welcome boost for Inter, who had been struggling in recent matches. They will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming games, with a midweek match against Fiorentina already under their belt.
