Inter will continue to apply the pressure in searching for the opening goal and in the process leave their defense exposed to the quick counter attack from Lecce. The home team had a few chances of their own and did punished Inter when Captain Guillermo Giacomazzi make the best of his chance by beating goalkeeper Julio Cesar in goal to make it 1-0 eighteen minutes in the first half.
Inter was reluctant to make Lecce break their winning streak by searching for the equalizer, they were later rewarded with a goal from Esteban Cambiasso but were rule offside by the linesman. The game grew increasing frustrating for inter who yet again see another goal rule offside when Cambiaso combine with Diego Milito into the 72nd minute.
It seems as if it wasn’t Inter’s day as the performance and team spirit was evident in their game but luck was lacking on their side.
