Overview

• Cristian Chivu’s first team and Raffaele Vecchi’s newly formed U23 side both lined up in mirrored 3-5-2 formations to assess squad depth.
• Inter’s lineup featured Yann Sommer in goal, a back three of Darmian, de Vrij and Bastoni, a midfield of Dumfries, Sucic, Asllani and Mkhitaryan with Carlos Augusto on the wing, and a front pairing of Bonny and Lautaro Martínez.
• The U23 squad started with Melgrati in goal, Re Cecconi, Prestia and Alexiou in defence, Cinquegrano, Berenbruch, Bovo, Kamate and Cocchi in midfield, and Mosconi alongside Spinaccè up front.
• Early action saw Sommer deny Mosconi one-on-one before Carlos Augusto’s rebound effort narrowly missed the target.
• The friendly marks the formal debut of Inter’s U23 team and underscores the club’s commitment to youth development at the newly dedicated BPER Training Centre in memory of Angelo Moratti.
