In the 47' Calhanoglu scored an incredible goal from over 30 metres out.

But it wasn't over yet: in the 63rd minute, Barella earned a well-deserved goal, curling a left-footed shot into the top corner. Roma pulled one back through Pellegrini in the 70th to make it 5-2. For the rest, it was all Inter, with Esposito coming close several times. The match ended in celebration for the Nerazzurri fans.
