Primavera 1 2025/26 | Inter wins in Milan
Milano – At the 'Konami Youth Development Center' the match ended 4-2 between Inter and Hellas Verona, matchday 37 of the Primavera 1 2025/26 championship.
The match kicks off in Milan and Verona start strongly: in the 2nd minute, Cavazza provides a great ball for Akale, who shoots left-footed at the near post but finds Taho, who does well to parry it into a corner.
Inter respond in the 4th minute with a big chance: Maye delivers a dangerous cross into the box, Borghi deflects it and on the far post Zarate arrives, finishing powerfully but seeing his effort cleared off the line by Szimionas.
In the 15th minute, the Nerazzurri take the lead: a move built down the left by Pinotti, who crosses into the box for Kukulis, who heads home to beat Borghi.
Verona try to respond in the 19th minute with a free kick from Feola on the right wing: the deflection from the wall makes it tricky, forcing Taho to dive and push it away for a corner.
In the 29th minute, Inter come close to doubling the lead with Kukulis, who unleashes a powerful right-footed strike from 25 metres that crashes against the crossbar.
Three minutes later, in the 32nd minute, another chance for the home side: Pinotti enters the box, shifts the ball onto his left foot and curls an effort towards goal, but Borghi produces a great save.
Verona are back in the 37th minute with a good run from Casagrande on the left: the cross finds Martini in the middle, but his right-footed shot is weak and easily saved by Taho.
In the 40th minute, Inter double their lead: Maye breaks down the left flank, enters the box and beats Borghi with a powerful left-footed strike under the crossbar.
Verona immediately try to pull one back in the 42nd minute with Akale, who controls inside the box from an assist by Szimionas, turns and shoots just wide of the post.
Just before half-time, in the 45th minute, Verona are awarded a penalty for a handball by Cerpelletti on an overhead attempt by Peci. Feola steps up and sends Taho the wrong way to make it 2-1.
With no added time, the first half ends with Inter leading by one goal.
The second half begins with Inter’s third goal in the 48th minute: from a corner, Kukulis shoots from the edge of the box, the ball goes through Martini’s legs and surprises Borghi, who cannot prevent the goal.
In the 51st minute, Verona come very close: Akale finds Martini centrally, who volleys first time and hits the crossbar; the ball bounces on the line before Inter clear it for a corner.
Inter’s fourth goal arrives in the 55th minute with a brilliant solo effort from Zarate, who beats Peci on the right and curls a precise left-footed shot into the top corner.
Verona keep pushing and in the 67th minute they pull one back: a precise cross from the left by De Rossi and perfect timing from Martini, who heads it in to make it 4-2.
Inter threaten again in the 70th minute with Mancuso, who heads from a great position but misses the target.
In the 83rd minute, Mancuso is again dangerous with another header, but Borghi saves and concedes a corner.
In the final minutes, at the 86th minute, Inter have a double chance: first Borghi denies Mancuso from close range, then from the rebound Della Mora shoots goalward but Intrabartolo clears off the line.
In the 90th minute, Inter also hit their second post of the match through Della Mora with a powerful right-footed strike.
After five minutes of added time, at 90+5, the final whistle: in Milan, Inter beat Verona 4-2.
The next fixture for Verona will be at the Olivieri Stadium against Roma, valid for matchday 38 of the Primavera 1 2025/26 championship (date and time yet to be confirmed).
