Inter, assured of being crowned since their victory (2-1) in the derby against AC Milan on Monday, won thanks to a double from Hakan Calhanoglu (56th and 60th from penalty). The Nerazzurri suffered in the first period, with Torino offering themselves the two clearest chances thanks to Colombian Duvan Zapata (15th and 17th).
But the exclusion of Adrien Tameze shortly after the break changed the face of the match: the Cameroonian defender from Torino was excluded for having mowed down just before the penalty area Henrix Mkhitaryan who was racing towards goal. Thanks to this 28th victory in 34 matches, for only one defeat, Inter further increased its lead over its two great rivals, AC Milan and Juventus who neutralized each other 0-0 on Saturday. AC Milan, 2nd, is 19 points behind and Juve, 3rd, 24 points! Simone Inzaghi's team can beat several Serie A records by the end of the season, on May 26, including that of the largest gap between a champion and his runner-up (22 pts between Inter and AS Roma in 2006-07).
The match was refereed by an exclusively female trio, formed by Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi, assisted by Tiziana Trasciatti and Francesca Di Monte, a first in Serie A. From 4:00 p.m., the new Italian champions will take their place in an imperial bus and will parade through the streets of Milan to the “Duomo”, the cathedral of the Lombard metropolis where they will be welcomed by thousands of fans.
