In Matchday 13 of Serie A, Inter traveled to face Verona, delivering a performance for the history books.
Despite the disparity in squad quality, the first-half result stunned fans. Inter netted five unanswered goals against the home side, matching an incredible feat from their storied history. Marcus Thuram scored twice, while Joaquín Correa, Stefan de Vrij, and Yann Bisseck each added a goal to complete the first-half rout.
According to analytics portal Opta Paolo, this marks the first time since 1964 that Inter has scored five goals in the first half of an away Serie A match. It’s only the second time the club has accomplished this in its history.
The last time Inter achieved this milestone was 60 years ago in an away game against Sampdoria, where they also put five past their opponents in the opening half.
This dominant display not only secured three points for Inter but also etched their current squad into the club’s history alongside one of its greatest eras.
