Primavera: Inter hit four in Udine

A clear and convincing victory for Inter Primavera, who beat Udinese 4-1 away from home, on matchday 25 of the championship. After an uphill start with the opponent's goal in the first minute, the Nerazzurri turned the scoreline around in the first half with goals from Aidoo and Berenbruch. In the second half, Zanchetta's team showed great maturity and finished off the game with goals from Pinotti and De Pieri. With this win, the Nerazzurri move up to second place with 49 points, level on points with Roma, who have a game in hand.

It was a shock start for Inter, who went behind after just one minute: El Bouradi received the ball on the edge of the area and let fly with a precise right-footer that left Zamarian with no chance. The Nerazzurri reacted immediately, and in the 4th minute Berenbruch tried his luck with his right foot, but his shot went wide. Inter stepped up a gear and, in the 12th minute, came close to equalising with a great chance: Romano linked up with Berenbruch with a precise pass, but he couldn't find the back of the net from a great position. The equaliser came in the 14th minute thanks to a great individual effort by Aidoo: the Nerazzurri full-back skipped past Marello and unleashed a powerful shot that took Cassin by surprise. The goal gave Inter a further boost and they continued to press forward and doubled their lead in the 24th minute: a shot from the edge of the box by Topalovic was deflected and turned into a perfect assist for Berenbruch, who beat Cassin from just a few steps away. Olivo tried to save it on the line, but the ball was already in. Udinese tried to react in the 36th minute with a dangerous free kick: Conti crossed the ball in, Maye headed it at risk of scoring an own goal, but Zamarian was alert and deflected it for a corner.

Inter started the second half with the same attitude and in the 47th minute, they came close to a third with an attempt from outside the box by Topalovic, well blocked by Cassin. The Nerazzurri controlled the game and in the 58th minute came close to scoring again with a ball lost by the Friuli goalkeeper: Romano intercepted and passed to Topalovic, but Cassin redeemed himself with a great save. In the 73rd minute, Inter had another chance: Berenbruch took a precise corner kick for Spinaccè to head, but the Bianconeri goalkeeper was alert and denied the goal. The chance to score a third was only postponed and came in the 87th minute: De Pieri jumped over an opponent and passed to Venturini, who sent it in for Pinotti. The Nerazzurri number 27 made no mistake from close range. In added time, there was also time for a fourth, with a splendid individual move by De Pieri in the 92nd minute: the Nerazzurri talent accelerated, jumped over a man and coolly beat Cassin on the break, closing the match with a definitive 4-1 for Inter.
