38' Another slick Inter move creates space for Barella’s cross, but Mkhitaryan completely miscues his volley.
34' Sommer denies Piotrowski! A good move from Udinese ends with the ball breaking to the Polish midfielder on the edge of the area, but his first-time effort is beaten away by the Inter goalkeeper.
29' Another dangerous delivery from Dimarco, with Piotrowski anticipating Esposito in the middle and clearing the ball into the stands.

27' Another chance goes begging – Barella is picked out in the box by Mkhitaryan but tries to pass it on to a teammate instead of shooting, and Inter lose possession.
25' Akanji! The defender rises highest on Dimarco’s corner, but his header drifts wide.
20' LAUTAROOO! 0-1! A brilliant ball into the box from Zielinski to Esposito, who lays it off to the captain with an effortless backheel. Il Toro shifts past Kristensen with a feint, holds off Karlström and, with the outside of his boot, guides the ball into the bottom corner! Come on, lads!
20' Lautaro
18' Bisseck threads a ball through for Luis Henrique, who whips in a cross to Lautaro, but his header drifts wide.

13' Mkhitaryan's low cross is deflected by Kristensen, with Okoye quick to gather the loose ball.
10' Udinese try to push forward: after Kamara’s cross is comfortably gathered by Sommer, Zanoli wins a corner on the opposite side, but Kamara’s subsequent delivery goes straight out of play.
5' Dimarco goes close! Barella swings a cross in from the right to the far post, where the wing-back attempts a difficult first-time volley, but the ball flies just wide.
4' Lautaro! Inter capitalise on an Udinese error and the ball falls to the captain: il Toro creates space in the box and shoots, but Okoye gets down well to make the save.

6' Akanji rises to meet Dimarco’s corner but his header flies over the bar.
