Inter took control of the match in the first 15 minutes. The initiative is good, but not in terms of attack execution. Parma usual defense failed to break through the Nerazzuri.

The first opportunity was even just created in the 22nd minute. Unfortunately, Roberto Gagliardini failed to direct the ball into the net after receiving a tug of bait from Robin Gosens.

Parma himself made a very early substitution. Dennis Man suffered an injury that caused him to withdraw in the 26th minute and was replaced by Stanko Juric.

Appearing as a substitute, Juric broke the deadlock. Juric fired a rocket far enough to beat goalkeeper Andre Onana.

Parma again took advantage of Inter carelessness, which took too long in possession of the ball, but never scored a goal. In the 43rd minute, Parma would have almost doubled their advantage through Adrian Benedyczak if it weren't for Onana save.

Inter dominance did not slacken at the start of the second half. However, Inter problem remained the same: they needed to be more active in attack and wasting chances when they presented themselves.

In the 51st minute, Henrikh Mkhitaryan again threw away a golden opportunity. He skidded when he was about to kick, thus making the ball aim far from the goal.

Simone Inzaghi made a massive tactical change in the 67th minute. Three players were immediately brought in to change things up.

Inter attack became much more promising in the last five minutes. Parma defense is tighter than before. Inter has more promising opportunities.

This weak defense allowed Lautaro Martinez to shoot at the end of the penalty box. Feeble indeed, but a knock from one of the players brought Inter level in the 88th minute.

Inter even almost turned ahead in the 90th minute. Edin Dzeko close-range shot was too precise toward Buffon position.

Parma first had a golden opportunity when entering extra time. The opportunity was created in the 104th minute.

Antoine Hainaut was immediately pushed into the Inter penalty box when the home players made mistakes. Unfortunately, his shot went wide a few centimeters from the right side of Inter goal.

Inter was finally able to turn things around and win the match in the 110th minute. In a situation where it looked like there was no goal, Francesco Acerbi made an unexpected move.

The Inter center-back scored a powerful header from outside the box. Buffon, who was not in the correct position, failed to block the title, and the ball rolled into the Parma goal.
