Inter 2 - 1 Hellas Verona, all you need to know

MILAN – A deserved but hard-fought win: Inter ran out 2-1 winners against Verona thanks to Vecino and Barella goals. In collaboration with Opta, here are all the relevant statistics from the match.

• Inter have scored in all of their first twelve matches in a single Serie A campaign for only the second time in their history following on from the 1997/98 season (under Luigi Simoni).

• Inter sit on 31 points after the first twelve matchdays of the current Serie A season: this is a record for the Nerazzurri in the three-points-for-a-win era.

• Inter are unbeaten in their 29 home games in the top flight against Verona (W18 D11). This represents a joint record for Nerazzurri, who have also remained unbeaten against Palermo at home for this many games.

• Inter attempted 17 shots during the first half: a joint record in the first 45 minutes of play this season when the Top Five European Leagues are taken into account.

• Nicolò Barella scored his first goal from outside the box from open play in Serie A. It was his eighth goal in the competition (and first with the Nerazzurri).

• Matias Vecino, who bagged a home goal in Serie A for the first time since January 2018, has scored three of his seven goals with Inter in the top flight with his head.
