Inter Milan had no difficulty winning the match. The team knew how to impose itself in the first half, but found a well-positioned Torino side who managed to hold on to the draw until half-time.
The visitors’ situation became complicated four minutes into the second half, when midfielder Tameze was sent off the field. Six minutes later, Çalhanoglu received a pass on the left and hit a volley to score Inter’s first goal.
The Turkish midfielder, shortly after opening the scoring, scored the champions’ second goal. In the 15th minute, he converted a penalty kick and scored the goal that gave Inter their first victory after the Italian title.
