Simone Inzaghi and company will have Yann Sommer to thank as Inter go into half-time level at nil-nil with visiting Venezia.
The Scudetto challengers have laboured this evening against a Venezia side that sits just outside of the relegation zone coming into round 11 of the 2024-25 Serie A season, and so nearly went behind just before the break.
Despite having a handful of big chances of their own, 22-year-old Gaetano Oristanio so nearly put the visitors 1-0 up after strike partner Joel Pohjanpalo found him free in the box with a square ball.
But the veteran Swiss international keeper would have the last laugh with a magnificent sprawling save to deny the young Italian while potentially giving Inter springboard to three points in the second half.
Clutch.
