Champions Inter Milan beat Lecce 2-0 at home in Serie A on Saturday
Champions In Serie A, Inter Milan defeated Lecce 2-0 at home on Saturday. Matteo Darmian and Hakan Calhanoglu's goals gave Simone Inzaghi's team their first victory of the year. After being thwarted to a 2-2 draw at Genoa last weekend, Inter was clearly in control of the game and had climbed up to the top of the standings temporarily with four points.
After the ball popped up in front of the defender and was headed into the net by Darmian, Inter took the lead in less than five minutes. In the 69th minute, Calhanoglu extended the lead from the penalty spot after Kialonda Gaspar's foul on Marcus Thuram earned Inter a spot kick. In the Italian top division, Calhanoglu converted his 17th penalty out of 17. The leading scorer from the previous campaign, Lautaro Martinez, was out for Inter due to a muscular ailment.
