The first half

The teams of both sides played in a high-intensity manner from the beginning of the game. Inter Milan quickly put pressure on the wing attack, while Udine responded with a disciplined defensive formation and occasionally launched long shots.

The first chance appeared in the 12th minute, passing the corner kick situation. Bastoni had a chance to shoot, but the ball hit the opponent's body and was saved by Udinese's goalkeeper.

Inter Milan's confidence increased after that opportunity. They continue to attack in a more orderly manner.

The first goal was finally formed in the 17th minute. The offensive plan constructed by Lautaro Martinez and Toulam gave Dumfries a perfect pass.

The Dutch winger easily received the ball at the far post, giving Inter a 1-0 lead. Simple execution effectively gained an advantage for the home team.

Udine did not passively accept the lag. They tried to fight back with some blitz, although they hadn't reached their best yet in the final execution. The match took a huge turn in the 25th minute, and the referee checked the VAR. Dumfries was awarded a penalty after handballed in the penalty area.

Kenan Davis was the free thrower and calmly shot the ball into the upper left corner of the Inter goal in the 29th minute. The score became 1-1, and the atmosphere of the game heated up again.

Inter Milan got a golden opportunity through Marcos Toulam in the 37th minute. However, the French striker failed to use Barrera's pass because his shot was too slow to execute.

Udinese took advantage of the opportunity immediately after three minutes. Artur Atta completed a quick counterattack with a precise shot in the 40th minute, and the ball hit the far post. The

2-1 score kept the visiting team ahead until the end of the first half.

Second half

Inter Milan played in a more offensive style in the second half. They tried to siege Udinine in their own defense zone, relying mainly on Lautaro and Dimarco as sharp knives.

In the 50th minute, Inter Milan almost successfully equalized the score. However, this excellent opportunity was not perfectly grasped by the forwards.

In the 56th minute, Diarko scored a goal with a strong shot, and Meazza's stadium was instantly jubilant. However, joy turned to disappointment as VAR canceled the goal because Turam was in an offside position before sending the assist.

Udine not only focuses on defense, but also threatens through counterattacks. In the 60th minute, a dangerous opportunity almost doubled the lead, but the ball was slightly off.

After entering the game in the 68th minute, Inter Milan is under increasing pressure. The chaos in front of Udinese's goal made Barrera shoot a slightly offensive shot.

That moment made all the spectators at San Siro Stadium hold their breath. The home team missed a great opportunity again.

Udinese then tried to master the rhythm of the game through the ball possession in the midfield. Meanwhile, Inter Milan's frustration is becoming increasingly obvious, as every offensive attempt is cracked by Juventus' solid defense.

Qiweiu sent new players in the last 10 minutes to enhance the offense. However, all Inter Milan's efforts were in vain after six minutes of injury time.

Udinese successfully ended the game with a score of 2-1. A valuable three-pointer was brought back from Inter Milan's home court.
