AC Milan 3–1 Inter | Inter had the ball and the chances, Milan had the moments Inter finished with 2.07 xG from 19 shots. Milan had 0.69 from seven, and scored three. That’s not a match Milan controlled. It’s a match Milan won in 42 minutes and then defended. ⚽ Three goals before half-time 3': Moreira beat Carlos Augusto on the right, chipped it in, and Pulisic headed it home. A 0.28 chance, two minutes in. 9': Moreira again, this time from a corner. Rabiot finished a 0.06 chance. 21': Inter answered from their own corner. Çalhanoğlu delivered, Akanji’s header was blocked, and Bastoni nodded in the rebound. 42': Moreira stepped up to a free kick from 25 yards and put it top corner. A 0.05 chance. Three goals from 0.39 xG. Diego Moreira had a goal and two assists, and was the difference between the sides. 🔵 Inter played the match Milan let them play Once they were behind, Inter took over: 77% field tilt. 51 progressive passes against 29. 16 box entries against 7. 16 high regains to Milan’s 9. 0.85 xG from transitions, against 0.35. Milan sat off. Their PPDA was 11.6 against Inter’s 7.8, and they were happy to let Inter have the ball in front of them. While trailing, Inter produced 0.67 xG per 30 minutes. Milan, protecting the lead, managed 0.13. ❌ Where Inter’s game broke down The volume was there, but the delivery wasn’t. Inter attempted 31 crosses and completed eight. Sixteen box entries became 13 shots, but only four of those possessions put a shot on target. Eight attempts missed the frame altogether. When Inter did hit the target, Mike Maignan was there. Seven saves, and Inter scored once from 1.90 post-shot xG. That’s nearly a goal saved by the keeper alone. 🔴 Milan’s efficiency Milan didn’t need much. Their shots were worth 0.69 before they were struck and 1.46 after: the finishing more than doubled the value of the chances. A header from a cross, a first-time finish from a corner, and a free kick into the top corner. And when Milan did win it back, they knew where to go. They had 22 line-breaking passes to Inter’s 12, and 27 of Inter’s losses gave Milan the ball in the final third within twelve seconds.
