Sassuolo surprised early on at the San Siro. In the 4th minute, Caputo put the visitors in front.
But when you have stars such as Alexis Sánchez and Lukaku on the park, any arduous task is smoothed out. After looking for a goal in the whole of the first half, the Belgian equalised in the 42nd minute from the penalty spot.
The draw gave piece of mind to an Inter who would still have time to go in front at the break. Biraghi, after some good collective play and an unexpected and falling assist from Alexis, put the hosts 2-1 up.
