Inter Milan hosted Sassuolo in round 4 of Serie A 2025-2026. Against a lower-rated opponent, the team at Giuseppe Meazza still had to go through a tense 90 minutes to keep all 3 points.
Right from the start of the match, Inter Milan proactively imposed the game with a team of experienced players. After missing a number of opportunities, the blue-ering team broke the deadlock in the 14th minute. Dimarco scored after Sucic's favorable assist.
Despite having an advantage early, Inter Milan could not easily widen the gap. Sassuolo stood firmly against and repeatedly threatened the home team's goal with quick counter-attacks. Goalkeeper Muric of the away team also played brilliantly, blocking consecutive shots from Thuram and Barella, helping Sassuolo lose only a minimum of the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, Inter continued to press. In the 81st minute, a turning point occurred when Carlos Agusto's shot hit Muharemovic and changed direction, causing goalkeeper Muric to helplessly watch the ball roll into the net, raising the score to 2-0 for Inter.
However, the hope is not over for Sassuolo. Just 3 minutes later, Cheddira took advantage of Berardi's delicate pass to reduce the score to 1-2. The match became even more dramatic when Frasetti put the ball into Inter's net, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
In the end, Inter Milan won 2-1, continuing to chase the Serie A leader. Dimarco and Muharemovic's own goal were important marks to help coach Simone Inzaghi's team overcome the difficult challenge at home.
