A cold shower at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium when Chievo Verona opened the score.

Inter equalizing in the 69th minute. It’s forward Mauro Icardi to take care of business defeating Chievo Verona goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino with a left footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Antonio Candreva with a cross. It’s the 15th goal of the season by Icardi.
Inter taking the lead in the 86th minute. It’s Ivan Perisic to unlock the draw with a right footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by Mauro Icardi. Good combo Icardi-Perisic.
