JAKARTA - The 27th week of Serie A 2023/2024 brings together Inter Milan vs Genoa. The Nerazzurri managed to reap tripoin after a narrow 2-1 win at Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday, March 5, 2024.

Inter dominated the game. They packed 62 percent possession of the ball. In total, they fired 16 shots, five of which were on target.

The Nerazzurri dominance put them two goals ahead in the first half through Kristjan Asllani and Alexis Sanchez.

Despite the frequent pressure, the home goal was only created when the game was running for half an hour.

Asllani shook Genoa's net after receiving Sanchez's through ball.

Four minutes later, the Nerazzurri were awarded a penalty when Barella was fouled by Morten Frendrup. The referee had canceled the penalty, but after a video review of the assistant referee (VAR) he changed his decision.

Sanchez, who became the executor, successfully carried out his task to bring Inter to a 2-0 lead. The score lasted until halftime.

In the second half, Genoa tried to get up. Their efforts paid off in the 54th minute.

Johan Vazquez took advantage of Stefan de Vrij's imperfect sweep. He immediately grabbed the ball with a volley that Yann Sommer failed to remove.

Successfully reducing the gap makes the visitors more confident. They began to often press the hosts for equalizer goals.

Opportunities came in the 62nd minute when Vitinha scored a goal. However, the goal was disallowed because it was offside first.

The next chance came in the 74th minute. It's just that Retegui's header continued that Jad Spence's cross was still wide.

Inter could only press again at the end of the second half. However, the collaboration between Marcus Thuram and Carlos Augusto could still be blocked by the Genoa goalkeeper.

No additional goals were created. The 2-1 score lasted until the game was over.

An additional three points made Inter Milan stronger at the top of the Serie A 2023/2024 standings. They collected 72 points from 27 matches.

The Nerazzurri moved away with a 15-point lead over the second-placed Juventus.
