Serie A: Inter Demolishes Lazio 6-0 in Dominant Display
Inter Milan made a powerful statement in the Serie A championship battle with an emphatic 6-0 win against Lazio in Rome. The reigning champions showcased their title credentials with a ruthless performance, highlighted by a stunning long-range goal from midfielder Nicolò Barella.
Both teams entered the match level on 31 points, though Inter had a game in hand. Lazio were missing suspended striker Taty Castellanos and injured defenders Alessio Romagnoli and Matias Vecino. Inter were looking to bounce back from a midweek Champions League defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.
After a competitive opening, Inter took control with two goals just before halftime. Hakan Calhanoglu converted a penalty in the 41st minute after a handball in the box. Federico Dimarco then doubled the lead with a volleyed finish from Denzel Dumfries’ cross.
Inter’s dominance continued after the break, with Barella scoring a sensational goal from 25 yards out. Dumfries added a fourth soon after with a powerful header. Late goals from Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram completed the rout for Simone Inzaghi’s side.
The comprehensive victory sends a clear message to Inter’s title rivals. With their attacking quality and defensive solidity on full display, the Nerazzurri look primed to challenge for another Scudetto this season.
Lazio will need to regroup quickly after this humbling defeat if they hope to remain in contention near the top of the table. For Inter, the resounding win provides a major confidence boost as they look to build momentum in both domestic and European competition.
