Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Inter, 4th position with 3 points and a positive goal difference of +5
Udinese, 11th position with 1 point and a goal difference of "0"

 

What a disappointment! Can you believe it? After Inter scored 5 goals against Torino in their first match, they were shocked by Udinese at the Meazza! It was a surprising loss, especially after they took the lead in the 17th minute with a goal from Denzel Dumfries. Udinese flipped the game around between the 29th and 40th minutes, thanks to a penalty scored by Keinan Davis and a brilliant goal from the talented Frenchman Arthur Atta. This is a significant setback for Inter in their effort to stay competitive with Napoli. Inter has dropped to 6th place with 3 points, while Napoli and Juventus are leading with 6 points each and a positive goal difference of +3.

Denzel Dumfries found the net from very close range with a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The assist came from Marcus Thuram. It all began with an impressive play by Lautaro. Thuram created a triangle with Dimarco inside the box, working on the left side, then the defender came in from the right, outpaced everyone to the post, and scored.



 

Udinese responded and leveled the score in the 29th minute. Keinan Davis scored a penalty with a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The penalty was given after Denzel Dumfries committed a handball in the box. Here's what happened: Dumfries handled the ball inside the penalty area. After a VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty. From the spot, the Juventus striker successfully beat Sommer with his left foot.

Is there a dark moment for Inter at this point? Udinese changed the game in the 40th minute by taking the lead. Arthur Atta found the net with a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner. The assist came from Keinan Davis. It was a great play by the Friulians as Davis set up the ball for the French midfielder, who then scored past goalkeeper Sommer with a right-footed strike. San Siro has fallen silent!



 

Man of the match!
