The David and Goliath clash. Inter, the Goliath, won the Serie A Week 5 game on Sunday 24 September 2023 at the Carlo Castellani Stadium in Empoli, Italy. Empoli remained in the last position without points. On the other hand, Inter have won all of their first five matches in a Serie A season for the fourth time in their history, after 2019/20 with Antonio Conte, 2015/16 with Roberto Mancini and 1966/67 with Helenio Herrera as coach.
Inter got the victory thanks to the goal by Federico Di Marco in the 51st minute. Di Marco defeated Empoli goalkeeper Etrit Berisha with a left-footed shot to the top right corner following a corner conceded by Berisha.
Great game for Inter goalkeeper keeping Yann Sommer another clean sheet.

✅ Stats before the game: Empoli have lost 23 of 30 matches against Inter in Serie A (W4, D3), against no team have the Tuscans suffered more defeats in the tournament (23 also against Roma). Inter have won 14 of the last 16 games against Empoli in the league (1N, 1L), scoring 32 goals (exactly two on average per match) and recording 10 clean sheets in the period. Inter have kept a clean sheet in their last eight away games against Empoli in the league, already a record run of clean sheets in a row for a single club away from home against another Serie A opponent – the Tuscan club’s latest goal at Castellani against the Nerazzurri bears the signature of Marco Materazzi (29-metre own goal on 30 April 2006). Empoli is only the third team that has been unable to either win points or score in the first four matches of the season in the history of Serie A, after Mantua in 1964/65 and Padova in 1994/95. In case of defeat without scoring in this match, the Tuscan team would become the first ever in the competition to do so in the first five matches of the season.
