Two first-half goals seal a 2-0 win for Inter over Verona. Barella opened the scoring after a quick break from Inter, and he fired it into the roof of the net. Less than 10 minutes later, they were 2-0 up through Dzeko, who tapped in from close range following a corner. It was a quieter second half, with neither keeper being called into action too much. Verona had a late push for a consolation, but couldn't find a way through.

That's back-to-back wins for Inter, and they leapfrog Napoli into second, just one point behind Milan. Both of those sides aren't playing until tomorrow though. Next up for them is a trip to Spezia. Verona's run without an away win continues and they stay in ninth for now. They travel to Atalanta for their next game.

That's all for today, goodbye!

  1. 90'+4'

    FULL-TIME: INTER 2-0 HELLAS VERONA.19:53

  2. 90'+3'

    Gosens does well to hold off Cancellieri and he chooses to put an early cross into the box. Again, there's no one in there for the hosts and Verona have possession again.19:53

  3. 90'+1'

    It's a clumsy challenge from Brozovic, who kicks Simeone's feet out from under him. He picks up a late yellow card.19:51

  4. 90'

    Perisic manages to keep his balance to stop the ball from bouncing out of play and picks out Gagliardini. He fizzes a lovely cross into the box, but there's no one there for Inter. 19:51

  5. 88'

    D'Ambrosio intercepts Sutalo's clearance and bundles his way through a crowded midfield. He tries to thread it through for Dzeko but trips as he plays the pass and it's easily dealt with by Verona.19:48

  6. 86'

    Verona are starting to get some joy down their right side, and Depaoli lifts another good cross in from the wing. Lasagna meets it in the middle but nods it straight at Handanovic.19:46

  7. 84'

    Caprari skipped past two Inter defenders before Dumfries got across. He goes in with a heavy challenge and is shown the first yellow card of the game.19:45

  8. 84'

    The final change for Inter sees Gagliardini coming on to replace Calhanoglu.19:44

  9. 82'

    And Ceccherini is also taken off, with Sutalo on in his place.20:00

  10. 82'

    Another double change for Verona as they search for a late consolation. Lazovic is first to make way, with Cancellieri replacing him.19:42

  11. 80'

    Simeone runs into traffic in the box, so he lays it off to Lasagna down the right. He lifts a great cross into the middle, but Depaoli wasn't expecting it, and it sails over his head. 20:01

  12. 78'

    GREAT CHANCE! Calhanoglu does well to dribble past Tameze before Vidal takes over by switching it out to Perisic. He drives down the left before clipping another good cross into the box to Dzeko, but he sends a looping header high over the bar. 20:01

  13. 76'

    Vidal loses out to Ilic deep in his own half, and the captain tries to open up space for a shot. When he can't, he lays it off to Caprari, and he loops a cross into the far post. Simeone volleys it back towards goal, but it's blocked by Bastoni.19:35

  14. 74'

    GOOD SAVE! Inter break quickly on the counter, and Brozovic squares it across the edge of the box when he spots D'Ambrosio in space. He takes it first time, but Montipo tips it wide. 19:34

  15. 72'

    The visitors are keeping the pressure on here and Inter just can't get out of their own half at the moment. Lasagna finds some space down the right and pulls a dangerous cross back, but there's no one in the middle.19:33

  16. 70'

    Verona break on the counter, and Lazovic bursts past Skriniar down the left before clipping a good cross into the middle. Lasagna throws himself at it, but can't get there ahead of Bastoni.19:30

  17. 68'

    CLOSE! Calhaoglu's corner pinballs around in the box for a while and it looks like Verona have cleared their lines until a sloppy pass from Depaoli goes straight to Calhanoglu. He sets himself before fizzing a shot across goal, but it's just wide. 19:29

  18. 66'

    And Dimarco's game is also over, with Bastoni on to replace him.19:26

  19. 65'

    Inter are making a double change this time. Barella, who scored the opening goal, goes off for Vidal.19:25

  20. 63'

    CHANCE! Lasagna gets straight into the action and has a go from outside the box when the space opens up for him. It has Handanovic worried for a second, but it's always rising, and it sails over the bar.19:25

  21. 62'

    And Faraoni is also making way, with Depaoli on for him.19:22

  22. 62'

    Verona are making a double change now. Bessa is the first to be taken off, with Lasagna replacing him.19:22

  23. 61'

    Verona are growing into this game and Bessa picks out a good throughball to Simeone down the right of the box. He wrongfoots Dimarco before hitting a low shot at goal. Handanovic spills it, but has time to gather it on his second attempt.19:21

  24. 59'

    Inter are making their second change of the game here. Correa is going off, with Gosens on in his place.19:20

  25. 57'

    Caprari weaves away from Dumfries and finds some space down the left. He whips a cross into the box which is too high for Simeone, and there's no one following in at the far post. 19:19

  26. 55'

    Inter are happy to just let the visitors have possession at the moment. It's all in front of the hosts, and they comfortably deal with the threat when it does come. 19:15

  27. 53'

    Perisic has assisted two goals in a single Serie A match for the first time since a derby win over Milan in February 2021. 19:13

  28. 51'

    Verona look more comfortable in possession this half, but it's all in front of Inter. They work it well down the right, but Faraoni's cross intended for Simeone flies straight into Handanovic's gloves.19:12

  29. 49'

    CHANCE! The ball is played into the space down the right and Dumfries races onto it. He skips away from Casale with a clever bit of footwork, but it forces him into a tight angle. He has a go anyway but rifles it into the side netting.19:10

  30. 48'

    Handanovic goes long and Dzeko rises high to flick it on over Tameze. Correa latches onto it behind him, but he's bundled off it by Ceccherini before he can get a shot away.19:08

  31. 46'

    Inter get us back underway for the second half! 19:06

  32. 46'

    There's a change at the break for Inter, with De Vrij taken off and replaced by D'Ambrosio.19:05

  33. Inzaghi will be pleased with his side's performance so far; they were bright and caused Verona all sorts of problems every time they broke forward, so he'll be hoping for more of the same. Verona took a long time to find their footing in the game but got going towards the end of the half. Tudor will be hoping they can show more of a threat after the break.18:58

  34. Inter take a 2-0 lead over Verona into half-time. The hosts dominated the first half and came out firing from the first whistle, with Perisic seeing an early effort saved by Montipo. The opening goal came from a counter, with Perisic picking out Barella, who fired into the roof of the net from close range. Dzeko then doubled the lead after poking in a flicked-on corner. Simeone had the best chance at the other end when Handanovic smothered his shot.18:53

  35. 45'+2'

    HALF-TIME: INTER 2-0 HELLAS VERONA.18:49

  36. 45'+1'

    Simeone bursts forward down the left and brushes aside two Inter defenders to open the space for a shot. A heavy touch shows too much of it to Handanovic, and when the forward trips over him, the penalty claims are waved away.18:49

  37. 44'

    The hosts win another corner, and Calhanoglu whips it in this time. Dzeko rises highest in the middle but gets caught under it, sending his looping header high over the bar. 18:46

  38. 42'

    Verona just can't deal with the threat down Inter's left as Dimarco cuts inside to pick out Dzeko again. He spins away from Gunter, taking the shot on the half-turn, but he curls it wide of the far post. 18:44

  39. 40'

    Verona deal with the string of corners for Inter, and they're back to patiently working it out from the back. Lazovic tries to slide in Caprari this time, but Skriniar cuts it out.18:43

  40. 38'

    Perisic catches Casale out with some clever footwork down the left before he whips another cross into the middle. Dzeko is already on the move, but Gunter steps in front of him to put it out for a corner.18:40

  41. 36'

    SAVE! Simeone plays a good one-two with Caprari on the edge of the box and the forward takes it past Brozovic. He takes the shot early, but Handanovic rushes off his line to smother it. 18:38

  42. 34'

    The visitors are enjoying a good spell of possession here and they're patiently working it out from the back. Inter are sitting back, but Verona aren't hurrying it forward this time.18:37

  43. 32'

    Verona are desperately trying to push upfield and Ilic pushes his way through the middle before trying to spread it to Bessa. He's not ready for it through, and Dimarco cuts it out.18:35

  44. 30'

    Perisic just drifted in front of the Verona defenders to the front of the crowd to get his second assist of the game.18:34

  45. 30'

    DZEKO SCORES! Dimarco whips the corner in for Inter, and it's glanced on by Perisic at the near post. Dzeko gets away from his marker and is left with a simple tap-in, giving Montipo no chance from close range. 2-0 Inter!

    Edin Dzeko
  46. 28'

    Inter work it out to the right this time, but Dumfries isn't being allowed any time on the ball. He's crowded off it by Lazovic, who tries to set Simeone on the counter, but his pass harmlessly falls to Handanovic.18:33

  47. 26'

    GOOD SAVE! Barella tries to turn provider this time after spinning away from Tameze. He slides a great throughball into Correa, and he takes it first time on the half-turn. It's straight down the middle, but Montipo makes another good save with his feet.18:28

  48. 24'

    Dimarco gets away down the left this time, and he lifts his cross in from the byline. Dzeko rises to meet it, but he has his hands all over Gunter, and the foul goes against him.18:27

  49. 22'

    Perisic reads it well and is alert enough to cut out the loose pass from Verona. He has a quick glance up to check who's up in support before putting in the cross.18:27

  50. 22'

    BARELLA SCORES! It's another brilliant counter-attack from Inter! The loose pass is played straight to Perisic and he has acres of space ahead of him down the left. He puts a great cross into the far post and Barella fires it into the roof of the net from close range. 1-0 Inter!

    Nicolò Barella
  51. 21'

    It's getting a bit scrappy in midfield, and neither side can keep hold of the ball for longer than a couple of touches. Skriniar is first to ask for a free-kick when he topples over, but the foul goes Verona's way when Calhanoglu catches Caprari. 18:26

  52. 19'

    GOOD SAVE! Dumfries pulls it back from the byline on the right and Correa and Dzeko both let it run for Perisic on the edge of the box. He drills a low shot towards the bottom corner, but Montipo gets down quickly to push it away.18:21

  53. 17'

    Verona work it out from the back well again and Lazovic plays a one-two with Caprari from a throw-in. The wing-back just strays offside though, and the offside flag ends the attack.18:20

  54. 15'

    There's a clash of heads between Simeone and De Vrij when they jump for the ball and the medical teams are called on. They slowly get back to their feet, and they'll both be able to carry on.18:18

  55. 13'

    Brozovic touches it into Barella, who tries to poke a return pass back to the Croatian. Verona have flooded bodies back into the box though and they crowd Inter out. 18:16

  56. 11'

    Verona are patiently working it out of their own half now and Lazovic makes some good progress down the left. Skriniar quickly closes him down though and blocks his path into the box.18:14

  57. 9'

    SAVE! Verona just can't cope with the pace of Inter's counter-attacks. Correa spots Dumfries in space on the right of the box and he knocks it past Casale before taking on the shot from a tight angle, but Montipo sticks out a leg to deny him.18:11

  58. 7'

    Calhanoglu steps up to take the free-kick, but he hits it straight against the wall and Dumfries can't pick out Skriniar with the follow-up cross.18:09

  59. 6'

    Another sloppy pass in midfield from Verona gives Inter the chance to counter, and Correa is picked out through the middle. He lays it off to Dzeko before he's upended by Ceccherini and Inter have a free-kick just outside the D.18:08

  60. 4'

    It's a brilliant run from Dimarco, who picks the ball up inside his own half and drives into the box, holding off two Verona defenders in the process. He manages to get a shot away, but it's deflected out for a corner.18:06

  61. 2'

    Inter are dominating the ball in the opening moments here, but Verona are dropping deep and staying compact. Calhanoglu tries to thread it through to Dzeko, but it's cut out by Ceccherini.18:05

  62. 1'

    Caprari gets the game underway for Verona! 18:02

  63. The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!17:59

  64. Verona have never won in 30 Serie A away games at Inter (D11 L19), and they've failed to score in 22 of those matches. Only against Juventus (31) have they played more away matches in the top-flight without ever winning.17:55

  65. Igor Tudor was clearly impressed with his side's performance in the win over Genoa last time out as he names an unchanged line-up today. He does have Frabotta back though, as he's passed fit to start on the bench.17:53

  66. Simone Inzaghi makes three changes from the win over Juventus last Sunday. De Vrij is fit enough to start after being an unused substitute in that game, with Dimarco and Correa also being brought in. D'Ambrosio and Bastoni drop to the bench, while Lautaro Martinez is missing due to a suspension.17:49

  67. HELLAS VERONA SUBS: Matteo Cancellieri, Elia Boseggia, Gianluca Frabotta, Mateusz Praszelik, Mattia Chiesa, Kevin Lasagna, Martin Hongla, Fabio Depaoli, Panagiotis Retsos, Bosko Sutalo.17:46

  68. HELLAS VERONA STARTING XI (3-4-2-1): Lorenzo Montipo; Federico Ceccherini, Koray Gunter, Nicolo Casale; Marco Faraoni, Adrien Tameze, Ivan Ilic, Darko Lazovic; Daniel Bessa, Gianluca Caprari; Giovanni Simeone.17:43

  69. INTER SUBS: Arturo Vidal, Matias Vecino, Ionut Radu, Robin Gosens, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Roberto Gagliardini, Alessandro Bastoni, Alexis Sanchez, Andrea Ranocchia, Alex Cordaz, Matteo Darmian, Felipe Caicedo.17:40

  70. INTER STARTING XI (3-5-2): Samir Handanovic; Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij, Federico Dimarco; Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic, Haka Calhanoglu, Ivan Perisic; Edin Dzeko, Joaquin Correa.17:37

  71. Inter start the day four points behind league leaders Milan, though they do have a game in hand over their rivals. They come into today in good form, going unbeaten in their last five Serie A outings (W2 D3), though those draws have seen them slip away from the top. Verona are also on a good run coming into this match, having lost just one of their last seven matches (W3 D3), though they haven't won on the road since a 4-2 win over Sassuolo in mid-January.17:33
