4 MIN READING

A vital win on the road for Inter: the Nerazzurri captain's goal in the 20th minute, set up by Esposito, proved decisive. Chivu's side are on 49 points after 21 matchdays

With a goal from Lautaro Martinez in the 20th minute, Inter win 1-0 in Udine in matchday 21 of Serie A, solidifying their place at the top of the table with 49 points.

Chivu's side got off to a spectacular start. For the first 30 minutes, there was only one team dominating the field, with the captain sealing the moment with a beautiful right-footed strike into the corner, set up by a man who never stops delivering, Pio Esposito. Sommer was called into action only at the end of the first half by Piotrowski. In the second half, Inter lost some intensity, and Udinese pressed higher up the pitch, but were unable to cause any damage to the alert Nerazzurri defence.
