Inter ended the match against Venezia with a 3‑0 victory, thanks to an early goal from Penzo who took advantage of a defensive error by coach Davide Nicola. The Venice team had to surrender after two own goals, one from Moreno and the other from Halal, and the result was confirmed in a few minutes of play.
Romanian coach Cristian Chivu, interviewed after the match, made a comparison with a past episode. He reported that, despite the initial difficulty, Inter played calmly and were lucky enough to take home the three points. Chivu recalled a defeat against Catania that occurred years earlier, underlining that matches of this type happen over the course of a season. He also announced that the derby will be played on Saturday, so the team will have to recover their energy and prepare as best they can.
The result leads Inter to consolidate their position in the standings, responding to the successes of Lazio, Roma and Como. Meanwhile, Venezia remains in difficulty, while the Inter team prepares for a crucial match the following week.
