Inter got another positive test by winning their second friendly match of the pre-season Inter 2-1 Pergolettese on Monday 22 July 2024. Inter returned to the field at the BPER Training Centre. The Nerazzurri dominated the game against Serie C team Pergolettese. Mehdi Taremi and Eddie Salcedo scored in each half to give the Nerazzurri a two-goal lead, but Mattia Capoferri managed to pull one back for Pergolettese in stoppage time (91st minute).
It was not a bad result after all for Pergolettese who were challenged by Inter, Italy’s Champions.
Coach Simone Inzaghi once again deployed his team in a 3-5-2 formation. In comparison to the previous match against Lugano, Asllani and Zielinski (who made his debut for Inter) were included in the lineup, while Agoumé shifted to the center of the defense. Ex Napoli Star Piotr Zielinski made his first appearance with Inter.
Inter took the lead in the 34th minute. Mehdi Taremi defeated Pergolettese goalkeeper Paolo Raimondi with a left footed shot to the center. The assist is by Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The Nerazzurri doubled the score in the 88th minute. Eddie Salcedo scored with a right footed shot to the high center. The assist is by Matteo Motta.
The honor goal for Pergolettese was scored by Mattia Capoferri from very close range with a headed shot to the high center. The headed assist is by Riccardo Bignami.
