Inter Secure โChampions โคLeague Victory Over Ajax โคwith โDominantโ Thuram Performance
Amsterdam, Netherlands – Inter Milan began their champions League campaign with aโ comfortable 2-0 victory over Ajax at โthe Johan Cruijff Arena.A brace from Marcus Thuram,including a frist-half penalty,propelled the Nerazzurri to a winโ that felt remarkably serene,described byโฃ Paolo โTomaselli as a “stop in beauty farm overlooking โthe channels of Amsterdam.”
the match โคsaw Inter managerโค Simone Inzaghi make a notable change to the starting โlineup, giving 20-year-old Esposito his โขChampions League debut due toโ Lautaro Martinez’sโฃ last-minuteโ absence with lower back pain.Martinez was limited to gymnasium work in โคthe changingโ rooms prior to the โmatch, whileโข De Vrij started in place ofโ Acerbi and Dimarco โขreturned to theโ team.
Despite aโข cautious start, Interโ gradually gained control.After a periodโฃ of pressure from Ajax, led by captainโ Davy Klaassen, Inter began โto leverage Thuram more effectively. In the 30th minute, Thuram was brought down in theโ penalty area by Baas,โฃ leading to a penalty awarded by referee Oliver. While the VAR,Australian Gillett โฃ(recently subject to controversy due to his allegedโค Liverpoolโ fandom),reviewed the play,the decision stood. Thuram converted โคthe penalty, opening the scoring for Inter.
Ajax responded with a โฃrisky attack, โforcing a crucial save from Inter โgoalkeeper โคYann Sommer on a shot from Godts. This proved toโค be a pivotal moment, as Inter doubled their lead just minutes later.Thuram headed home โฃa corner โfrom Hakan Calhanoglu, marking his second goal of the night.
The โsecond half sawโ Interโข maintain their dominance. Calhanoglu delivered โฃanother pinpoint corner, again finding Thuram for a โฃheaded goal, extendingโ Inter’s lead. โThe โขDutchโ defense appeared vulnerable on both occasions.
Following theโ goal, inter managedโค the remainder of the โmatch with composure, preventing any meaningful comeback attempts from โขAjax. The victoryโ provides a โคpositive startโค to Inter’s Champions league journey and a boost to morale after a โคwin againstโ Torino โin their serie โA opener.
The report also highlights the encouragingโข performance of young Esposito on his Champions League debut.Inter’sโ upcoming โฃschedule includes matches against Sassuolo, Cagliari, Slavia prague, and Cremonese, offering opportunities to build momentum.
