The home side opened the scoring in the first half through Federico Dimarco, who found himself in space after a clever pass from Sucic and fired a shot past the keeper. Inter continued to dominate proceedings, creating 1.81 expected goals throughout the game. They found a second goal after the break when a long-range effort from Augusto deflected off Muharemovic and into the bottom corner.
Sassuolo, who created 0.9 expected goals, managed to pull one back shortly after, with Cheddira latching onto a throughball from Berardi before scoring. However, Inter held on to secure the victory and claim all three points.
The win highlights Inter's attacking prowess, as they have now scored the most goals in Serie A in this calendar year with 45. The club also continues to be a force at home, having won nine home games this year, a number matched by Roma and Bologna and exceeded only by Juventus with ten wins. The victory was also a significant milestone for Federico Dimarco, who, since his return to Inter in 2021/22, has been involved in the most goals (35) in Serie A among all full-backs, with 16 goals and 19 assists.
