Pio Esposito signs 1-0 to Lecce, Inter to +6 and winter champion

MILAN (ITALPRESS) – A goal of Pio Esposito is enough for Inter to fold Lecce 1-0 in San Siro in the recovery of the 16th day. The Nerazzurri, today winter champions, take advantage of the false passage of Naples and flee to +6 on the cousins of Milan (who tomorrow play in Como) and the champions of Italy. Large turnover for Chivu that on the outside launches Diouf and Carlos Augusto while in front there is Bonny alongside Thuram with Lautaro Martinez and Pio Esposito starting from the bench. Pierotti and Sottil in the trident of Di Francesco where Stulic is the central reference. On median title debut for the new Gandelman purchase. Few emotions in a start where Lecce is ordered and Inter does not sink. On the foot of Bonny at 6′ the best chance Nerazzurri up to the range: good Falcone to deviate in the corner the right round in fall of the former Parma. Bonny is the protagonist of the most controversial episode of the first time that arrives at the minute 23 when the referee Maresca sets a penalty for a contact in the area between the French and Danilo Veiga. The defender’s touch on the attacker is there, but before hitting Bonny, Veiga takes the ball and that’s why the race manager is called by the Var to monitor for an on field review that serves to cancel the penalty. Before going to rest a good chance for Lecce: Inter is discovered on a long referral of Falcone, Sottil tries to surprise Sommer out of the poles but the ball ends on the side. Change gear the capolista at the start of recovery and start playing in stable plant in the half host field. Falcone saves on Barella’s lead, while Diouf wasted by good position on the development of the action. Chivu immediately plays a triple change and from the fishing bench Frattesi, Luis Henrique and Pio Esposito, but still not enough: Lecce closes the spaces and at Inter serves a more offensive form with Lautaro Martinez who enters instead of Mkhitaryan to pass to a 3-4-3 anterior traction. The move pays dividends after an opportunity of guests in which Siebert had launched in offensive projection but found the Sommer gloves. Indeed, they are the sub-enters to pack the three-point goal: the shore of Pio Esposito for the shooting of before Lautaro, rejected by Falcone and on the tap in the same Esposito anticipates all happening a few steps. It explores the feast of the curve enlivened by its new and very young idol which then goes one step from the double with a right from the limit. The ball comes out of a breath, but it doesn’t matter. At the feast of San Siro, Inter is on a dark run.– photo Image –(ITALPRESS).
