7.8/10Inter Cruise Past Cagliari with Second-Half Surge at San Siro
Inter asserted their dominance at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, dispatching Cagliari 3-0 thanks to a clinical second-half performance. After a cagey first period, the Nerazzurri broke the deadlock early in the second half and quickly doubled their advantage, putting the match beyond the visitors’ reach. Inter’s control of possession and relentless attacking pressure eventually wore down a Cagliari side that struggled to create clear chances. Cagliari, despite a disciplined first half and a strong showing at set pieces with eight corners, were unable to test Inter goalkeeper Josep Martínez, managing only one shot on target all evening. Two yellow cards for the visitors reflected their frustration as Inter’s midfield orchestrated the tempo and their forwards capitalized on defensive lapses late in the game.

Inter
Inter delivered a commanding display, especially after the break, controlling 56% of possession and outshooting Cagliari 18 to 10. The midfield trio of Barella, Calhanoglu, and Mkhitaryan dictated proceedings, while the wingbacks provided width and attacking impetus. The Nerazzurri’s 3-5-2 formation allowed them to overload the central areas and transition quickly into attack, resulting in three well-taken goals. Defensively, Inter were solid, conceding just one shot on target and showing discipline despite committing 17 fouls. Their ability to maintain intensity and focus throughout the match ensured a well-deserved clean sheet.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
Cagliari
Cagliari showed resilience in the opening 45 minutes, keeping Inter at bay and threatening occasionally from set pieces, as evidenced by their eight corners. However, their inability to create clear chances from open play and a lack of attacking cohesion saw them fade as Inter raised their tempo after the interval. The visitors’ 3-5-2 setup matched Inter’s shape but lacked the same technical quality in midfield, and their forwards were largely isolated. Two yellow cards highlighted their defensive struggles as they chased the game in the latter stages.

Tactical Analysis
Both teams lined up in a 3-5-2 formation, but Inter’s superior technical quality and midfield dynamism made the difference. The home side’s wingbacks, Dumfries and Dimarco, provided constant width, stretching Cagliari’s defensive line and creating overloads in wide areas. Inter’s pressing was effective, forcing Cagliari into mistakes and stifling their build-up play. Cagliari tried to match Inter’s shape but struggled to maintain compactness after conceding, leaving gaps that Inter exploited with quick passing combinations. The visitors’ reliance on set pieces for attacking opportunities was evident, but Inter’s organization at the back nullified any real threat.
Turning Point
Thuram’s opener in the 52nd minute shifted the momentum decisively in Inter’s favor, forcing Cagliari to chase the game and leaving them vulnerable to further goals.
Man of the Match
Marcus Thuram
His opening goal broke Cagliari’s resistance and set Inter on course for a dominant win, while his movement and link-up play were instrumental throughout.
