Inter open their Serie A 2024/2025 account with a draw. A 2-2 full of tension and sweat, with the Nerazzurri bouncing back from a Vogliacco goal thanks to a stunning double from Marcus Thuram.
Thuram’s late goal seemed to have secured the three points for Inzaghi’s team, but deep into stoppage time, Genoa equalised with a penalty. Messias saw his spot-kick saved by Sommer, but the Brazilian forward was quickest to pounce on the rebound, to make it 2-2.
