Internazionale has also won its second game in Serie A. On a visit to Hellas Verona, Inter turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 victory. Stefan de Vrij played ninety minutes, Denzel Dumfries remained on the bench for the entire match.
Dumfries, who made the switch from PSV to Inter this summer, was appointed by Louis van Gaal called up anyway for Orange after the right back was not in the preselection. Unfortunately, he was unable to pick up a match rhythm for next week’s qualifying matches on Friday.
Hellas Verona, which has finished in the middle of the last two seasons, opened the scoring via Ivan Ilic. The former NAC player intercepted a mediocre kick by Samir Handanovic and knocked the ball over the keeper who ran out.
The national champion came alongside after the break when defender Martin Hongla headed the ball through on a goalkeeper throw, after which Lautaro Martínez was able to nod in from close range.
Dream debut Correa
Joaquín Correa came on in the closing stages and scored twice, first with a contrarian header and, in stoppage time, with a placed shot.
Dumfries saw his competitor Matteo Darmian give a wonderful assist from the bench on the 2-1.
