Calhanoglu's goal seals victory for Inter against Cagliari

A goal in the first ten minutes, plenty of chances and another three points for Inter as they keep their perfect start to the league season after two matchdays. The Nerazzurri secured victory away against Cagliari on matchday two and, just as against Monza, it was Hakan Calhanoglu who opened the scoring with a right-footed shot from outside the box to beat Caprile. Inter then continued to dominate the game, creating chance after chance, before having to handle some late pressure, with a crucial clearance from Bisseck helping to seal the win. The victory takes Inter to six points as they look towards matchday three, when they will face Napoli at San Siro on Saturday 5 September.
