Inter joined Real Sociedad among the qualifiers from Group D. Jostled at the start of the match by a Salzburg team resolutely looking forward, the Interists gradually took back control. They could have scored earlier through Alessandro Bastoni (35th), Davide Frattesi (42nd) and especially Marcus Thuram, author of a big miss (77th). And we had to wait for a penalty from Lautaro Martinez (1-0, 86th) to resolve the situation. A deserved opening goal, as the Argentinian hit the bar a few minutes earlier (82nd).
Thanks to their particular difference over Salzburg, Inter qualifies for the eighth and is now aiming for first place in the group. The Austrians remain favorites to be moved to the Europa League, with three points more than last place Benfica.
