Inter Milan down AS Roma in an eight goal thriller
Inter Milan continued to close the gap on the Serie A table after a breathtaking 5-3 win over AS Roma at the San Siro on Sunday night. The visitors who were reduced to ten men did well to make a game out of it after trailing by 4-1 at one point.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 squandered a clear opportunity
to take the lead in the second minute. Inter made them pay for the miss as Sneijder volleyed from the edge of the box to finish it past Julio http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 who had no chance of stopping it.
It was a perfect start for the Nerrazurri but their celebration wouldn’t last long. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Borriello-c23672 pass. It was 1-1 within the opening 15 minutes and Roma
came close to getting the lead but were denied by a fantastic double save from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Julio-Cesar-c19961.
The game continued with the same energy as Inter made a barrage of attacks on the Roma defence. The home side were rewarded for their wonderful play in the 35th minute when after beating John Arne Risse, Eto’o carried the ball into the box before
unleashing to Julio Sergio to make it 2-1 for his team.
Both teams finished the first half with the same momentum as the second period promising to provide a nail biting finish. Soon after the second half whistle, Inter came close to doubling their lead when Pazzini found the back of the net but the official
had the flag up and ruled it offside.
Just after the hour mark, Nicolas Burdisso was shown a red card when he brought Pazzini down inside the box. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Motta-c34897
with a lovely cross to the far post and the latter applied a simple finish to make it 4-1 for Inter.
The game looked dead and buried with only 20 minutes to play but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112 free kick as the ball went into the goal past Cesar. Five minutes later Roma scored another. Juan’s
header from the corner deflected off the bar and substitute http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Esteban-Cambiasso-c12912 made up for that miss and
finished a simple tap in to end the game at 5-3.
Inter were clearly the better of the two sides as they closed the gap on rivals AC Milan to five points with an extra game in hand. Inter will travel to Turin next week to take on Juventus in a very important that could be title decider.
