45'+1' - Inter are under threat again. Birindelli whips one in from the left and Mangas just fails to get there.
39' - Monza come forward again with a superb cross from Carboni. Varela twists in the air but cannot keep his effort on target.
32' - Esposito takes the ball in the box and tries to get a shot away after turning, but fires over.
31' - Dimarco lets fly with his left foot from the edge of the box, but Pizzignacco saves.
30' - Inter are in trouble here, Bastoni's backpass almost lets Varela in. He was inches away from going one-on-one with Martinez.
29' - MONZA EQUALISE, VARELA! Young Mout clips a ball into the box for the Portuguese forward, who brings it under control, holds Akanji off, turns and beats Martinez with a fine diagonal finish for 1-1.
26' - Inter go close to a second. Barella cuts inside from the left and curls a shot just over.
23' - Monza try to hit back, but Barella gets back brilliantly in the box to stop Varela after he had broken clear.
6' - CALHANOGLU STRIKES EARLY, INTER 1-0! The first goal of Serie A 2026/2027 goes to the Turk, a rocket that gives Pizzignacco no chance, from an assist by Diouf, who takes Esposito's lay-off and squares for the Turk arriving from deep. The Monza goalkeeper does not come out of it well, it was a powerful but central shot. There are doubts over Bisseck's position, as he was offside and may have impeded the goalkeeper.
