Milan’s 1-0 win over Inter on Sunday was decided by an 80-second spell in which Inter could have scored, but Milan struck instead.
There’s an old saying in Italian football that goes: ‘Goal sbagliato, goal subito.’ The translation is quite easy: miss a goal-scoring opportunity, and the opponents will score instead.
The decisive 80 seconds of Milan vs. Inter
It’s exactly what happened in the Milan derby on Sunday when the Rossoneri took all three points thanks to Pervis Estupinan’s first goal with the club.
The ex-Brighton defender found the net just a few seconds after Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s missed chance on the other end.
Below, via Lega Serie A, is the video of the 80 seconds that determined Milan’s win in the Derby della Madonnina.
