Entering the game with a record of four wins in a row in a streak of eight games without a loss, Inter tried to be dominant from the start and were able to open the scoring in the 29th minute when Lautaro Martinez headed home a Hakan Calhanoglu corner.

Inter had the opportunity to double their lead when they were awarded a penalty a minute before the break, but Martinez's execution was denied by goalkeeper Alessio Cragno.

Five minutes into the second half, Inter finally doubled their lead with an accurate volley from Alexis Sanchez who met Nicolo Barella's cross.

Then in the 66th minute, Calhanoglu produced a brilliant strike from the left flank before curling a curling shot that slid the ball into the far post to add to Inter's 3-0 lead.

Two minutes later, Martinez scored his second after calmly controlling Barella's cross before beating Cragno with a precise finish from close range to make it 4-0 for Inter.

Barella, who has already recorded two assists in this match, tried to make his name on the scoreboard in the 80th minute with a relatively accurate long-range shot, but Cragno this time was able to secure Cagliari's goal.

Three minutes before the dispersal of normal time Sanchez almost added another advantage, unfortunately, his shot still hit the crossbar and Inter's 4-0 score did not change until the final whistle sounded.

Inter next travel to Arechi to take on bottom team Salernitana on Friday, December 17, and a day later Cagliari host Udinese at the Sardegna Arena.
