Despite crashing out of the Champions League and falling down to third place in Serie A, Inter Milan are demonstrating exactly why Italy shouldn't discount their abilities. Despite losing Júlio César in the 22nd minute, the keeper's silly challenge on Mauro Zárate earning him a straight red card and a converted penalty for Lazio, the ten-man nerazzurri have managed to come back and take the lead at the San Siro. First Wesley Sneijder scored off a free kick before the halftime whistle, and now Samuel Eto'o has put Inter ahead.
Inter Milan Vs. Lazio: Samuel Eto’o Gives Inter The 2-1 Lead, Stefano Mauri Sent Off For Lazio
And what a goal, too, the striker easily getting behind two Lazio defenders, making Giuseppe Biava in particular look absolutely foolish. Nando Muslera came rushing out to meet Eto’o, but the Cameroonian easily sidestepped the spastic keeper to put the ball in the back of the net.
Now Lazio, too, are down to ten men after captain Stefano Mauri also saw a straight red. The midfielder kicked out at Yuto Nagatomo after the Inter defender made off with the ball, leaving everyone to wonder ... just how many games have Lazio finished with all eleven men?
