A strong, mature, and clinical display from Inter U23, who beat Lecco 2-0 at the Rigamonti-Ceppi Stadium on Matchday 23 of Serie C Group A. Goals from Kamate and La Gumina proved decisive in the big showdown as the Nerazzurri went on to claim three vital points and move up to fourth place in the standings with 37 points.
The start of the game was evenly contested in Lecco, as both sides remained disciplined and wary of conceding space. Inter found their first opportunity in the ninth minute, when Topalovic tried his luck from the edge of the box but failed to hit the target. The Nerazzurri then found their momentum and came close again in the 33rd minute as Kamate struck from close range, but Tanco cleared off the line. Inter continued to pile on the pressure late in the first half, and in the 41st minute, La Gumina tested the goalkeeper, but his shot was comfortably saved. The teams went into the break on equal footing, 0-0, with Inter U23 showing promise.
Lecco then started the second half with more urgency, who threatened through Lovisa, but it was ultimately the Nerazzurri who scored in the 52nd minute. Following a scramble in the box, Kamate reacted quickest and sent in a thunderous left-footed volley to make it 0-1. The hosts tried to respond and created a chance through Zanellato, but were unsuccessful in finding the net. The moment that sealed the game came in the 72nd minute. Inter broke forward on the counter-attack, after a Lecco corner: Zuberek won back possession and played in La Gumina, who broke from his own half and calmly finished past Furlan to make it 0-2. In the final moments of the match, the Nerazzurri managed their two-goal lead with composure and authority, closing out the game without any real danger.
