It took 65 minutes but Inter Milan finally have the lead over Chievo Verona, and in the process have recaptured second place. Leonardo's changes -- Wesley Sneijder came on for Dejan Stankovic at the half, and Giampaolo Pazzini made way for Diego Milito in the 61st -- may not have changed the shape, but the players were certainly able to attack with more ease. The pressure in front of the Chievo finally paid off, with Lucio and Maicon combining down the right hand side before Maicon slid the ball in to Esteban Cambiasso in the center of the area. The midfielder had acres of space in which to play and he found the perfect shot, sending it low and hard through a crowded box and past Stefano Sorrentino.
Inter Milan Vs. Chievo Verona: Esteban Cambiasso Puts Nerazzurri Ahead 1-0
With more than twenty minutes remaining, can Inter hold on for all three points? Some of the fight has gone out of the Flying Donkeys, and it seems unlikely they will find a way to get past the Inter defense.
