Overview
- Inter beat Lecce 2-0 through late goals by substitutes Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the 75th minute and Manuel Akanji in the 82nd.
- Both goals originated from Federico Dimarco corners, reinforcing his impact as a set‑piece provider.
- The victory took Inter to 64 points from 26 matches and maintained a 10-point cushion after AC Milan later fell 1-0 at home to Parma.
- Marcus Thuram and teenager Francesco Pio Esposito started up front as captain Lautaro Martínez recovers from a calf strain expected to keep him out for around a month.
- With Nicolò Barella and Hakan Çalhanoğlu suspended and Denzel Dumfries still unavailable, Cristian Chivu’s side still collected a seventh straight league win against relegation-threatened Lecce.
