Parma 0-2 Inter – Player Ratings
Parma: Corvi 6; Britschgi 5.5, Delprato 5, Circati 5, Valeri 6; Bernabe 5.5 (Estevez 5.5), Keita 6 (Cremaschi N/A), Sorensen 5.5, Oristanio 5 (Almqvist 5.5), Ondrejka 6.5 (Ordonez 6); Pellegrino 5.5 (Cutrone 5.5)
Best Parma Player: Jacob Ondrejka – Looked more or less the most dangerous of Parma’s front-line, and made a few good runs down the left flank. Inter struggled to contain him at times but it mattered little amidst the rest of the Nerazzurri’s dominance.
Lowest Parma Rating: Gaetano Oristanio – Played just over an hour before being substituted and offered very little in his time on the pitch. Lost the ball on several occasions and failed to create even a slightly dangerous opportunity.
Coach: Carlos Cuesta 5.5 – Faced with an overwhelming gap in squad ability, the young coach could not have done much more. His side tried to soak up the pressure but any counter attacks were half-hearted and Inter really could have won by more.
Inter: Sommer 6; Bisseck 7, Akanji 6.5, Carlos Augusto 6.5; Luis Henrique 6 (Acerbi N/A), Sucic 5.5 (Barella 6.5), Calhanoglu 6.5 (Zielinski 6), Mkhitaryan 6, Dimarco 7.5; Pio Esposito 6.5 (Thuram 7), Lautaro Martinez 5.5 (Bonny N/A)
Best Inter Player: Federico Dimarco – Scored Inter’s first goal and created more chances than you can count on one hand. Let down by the front line who failed to convert chances but the wing-back was in peak form today, exploiting attacking spaces and whipping crosses into the box.
Lowest Inter Rating: Petar Sucic – Missed a good chance to score and struggled a bit in rare defensive moments. Was by no means bad, just Inter’s worst performer on the night.
Coach: Cristian Chivu 7 – Pretty run of the mill performance for the coach, who went with his tried and tested team above all else. Switched things up slightly with Pio Esposito up front, who performed relatively well. Subs Barella and Thuram both on the receiving end of a goal involvement.
