Just three changes from Wednesday's Copa final in Rome.
Donato replacing Hentanovic in goal.
Cambrosio, wearing the captain's arm bandit.
Here's Lukaku, who's through as the flag stays down.
Romelu Lukaku, off the keeper!
How's that for a start?
40 seconds in.
He is in sizzling form.
But this may be the easiest goal he's scored all season.
Look at this quick one-two. Lula lining so well, the give-and-go.
Naku just lays it off to his favourite strike partner.
And I hope Simon Inzaghi's watching this and thinking,
how can I possibly leave Lukaku out of the starting line-up against Manchester City?
This is the kind of danger that he brings against a high line.
And he's in his old goal-scoring mood again.
The movement looks so sharp. Inzaghi's going ballistic.
And let's be honest, there's no Atalanta defender there,
Scalvini, Jim Siti or Toloi, that's going to be able to even have a chance
keeping up with Lukaku in a footrace, especially if they're that high up.
Toto Martinez, an instinctive switch to find Di Marco.
It's Federico Di Marco! Stings the glove of Sportiello.
Kept alive by Lautaro. Di Marco follows up.
It's still loose, but...
My goodness!
Enter! Unstoppable!
They have stormed out of the pitch after Meazza.
Sensational!
They look like a Champions League finalist.
What else can you say?
Di Marco nearly takes the glove off of Sportiello.
There's two deflections.
First, Sportiello's able to clear it away.
He's just trying to protect his body at that point.
That was a laser coming at him.
And Barreiro's had such a great season.
Getting his sixth goal, but it's Howe on the volley into the top corner.
Sportiello's looking at the...
Back in March, he made his very first international starts for Denmark.
All they produced was five goals and two games.
Look who it is!
Here's Acerbi leading the attack.
On his left, it's Acerbi!
Good eyes for goal.
Acerbi!
What a strike!
Acerbi at this moment, he is teasing us on.
It's Federico Di Marco!
The asked question is Sportiello.
Maybe the best 15-minute stretch that I've seen from any team in Serie A this season.
Every single time they attack, it feels like they're going to score.
2-0 to Inter, looking for more.
Lost in by Celenolu.
Knocked down by D'Ambrosio.
D'Ambrosio.
Lifted in.
Knocked down by Bastoni.
Still on for D'Ambrosio.
Not clean contact from the centre-back.
This time, Sportiello not troubled.
Scalvini fouled.
Had to stop the 19-year-old any way he could.
And Brendan Sopin.
Stopped by Scalvini.
It's raffled into the middle by Orana.
It's wonderful to find Lukaku.
Even better control from the Belgian.
Lukaku, and why not have a go?
He is feeling himself.
Is there anything more terrifying than Lukaku running at you full steam,
and there's a bit of room on his left foot?
Ethan's play more direct,
and oftentimes that means that long ball over the top to Lukaku.
This is wonderful from Pocelic to Hoyland.
On his left, it's Hoyland!
First shot on target for Atalanta.
Orana stands his ground.
Here's Pocelic.
Takes one quick look.
So considerate.
A lot of pace behind it.
Once again, the left of Di Monaco,
the right of Celenolu to keep Sportiello guessing.
It's laid off for Hakka.
Celenolu!
What a surprise for Sportiello,
who lost sight of the ball.
Shot off target in the end.
Just that touch.
How smart is that?
Look at that touch.
What it did.
It allows Sean Oglu to completely avoid the...
Hoyland against a Cherby.
A bit quickly and smartly.
It struck as it arrived.
It tipped over to the nine coatminers.
It's a dream to attack in the air.
There's that shot from coatminers,
which was maybe going to come off the crossbar.
But again, it was dipping violently.
And it was probably going to go under the crossbar.
Ronada couldn't take any risks.
Nice shot there on coatminers' favorite left foot.
Insane right to the six!
And Scalvini's header
flashes wide of the target.
And then coatminers delivers.
Here they come once more.
Bastoni
stops the approach of coatminers.
It will lead to an Atalanta corner
with ten left to play in this opening half.
Coatminers.
Scalvini.
Hoyland.
Swings and misses.
Postulants!
Game on!
The former Milan man
halves the deficit.
And Atalanta's straight back in it.
Another look here
at that inswinger,
but it's
just an interside that's unable to clear their lines.
D'Ambrosio had a swipe at it,
but all he caught was air right there.
He makes a big mistake there, D'Ambrosio.
Oh, just completely whiffs
on that attempted clearance,
and that's what allowed Postulants to pounce.
And then
D'Ambrosio just...
It's Lautaro Martinez
with the defensive work
to win it back for Inter.
It's passed to Scalvini.
Shrugs off the challenge for Ederson.
This is magic from Lautaro.
Looking for Lukaku.
DiMarco calibrates.
Delivers.
Easily dealt with by Toloi.
Here's Hakan Celenoglu.
Celenoglu!
That ball teleported towards Portiello.
Celenoglu's effort.
Yeah, look at that.
Perfect strike anywhere else,
and that's a goal.
Portiello can hardly even react to it,
and it's...
Lautaro Martinez
draws the contact
and the whistle,
and this time the
yellow card is produced
by Daniele Orsato.
One of the starters.
The interesting thing with Scalvini
is that he's a center back now,
but he used to play further up the field
when he was younger,
so he's very good with the ball at his feet.
Which obviously is a great quality to have now,
given the way teams build out in front of the back.
Atalanta, no different.
This is Muriel.
Showed too much of the ball to D'Ambrosio.
It's a clumsy touch from the Colombian.
Barrela.
Here's how he checks his shoulder
as the ball arrives.
Golsan's...
Martinez makes the movement in the box
and merely ensures it doesn't get there.
It's Barrela!
Would have put it past him
to score from that sort of effort.
Something Barrela said a while back
that stuck with me about Barrela is...
Lautaro Martinez.
It's broken up by Scalvini.
Mele commits to the challenge.
It's a nice touch by him.
Brozovic.
Nice feet.
Mele picks his pocket.
Lugman.
It's collapsed on quickly by Barrela and Celadon.
Brozovic has had a great game.
Here's Brozovic.
Lukaku with his back to goal
laying it off.
It's Lautaro!
No trouble for Sportiello.
Chances few and far between now
in this second half.
After a shooting gallery in the first 45.
Hoylen.
Our second half,
a champion's had him in his back pocket.
Used to play here for Milan
although only briefly.
Only made six city appearances
for the Rossellini.
Oh, it's in!
Slipped through nicely from Brozovic
who's in behind.
Brozovic for Lautaro!
Selfless.
Cohesive football
from the Nerazzurri.
There's the insurance goal they wanted.
Trags Jim Sitte.
He's taken for a walk in the park
because of that hole.
Meteor-sized hole created
in the Atalanta defence
because of that wonderful
hold to play from Lukaku.
That's why you've got that opening
for both Brozovic
and Lautaro Martinez
to run through
like the seas had parted.
Far too easy
when it's clicking like this.
And I'll go back
to what we said
in the first half.
Similarly,
full-backs converted
to central defenders
on this interside.
To Cherby!
That's the only thing
missing from the game.
Atalanta in search
of their first shot
of the second half.
Muriel who goes for goal.
Second effort!
It's Nixon!
What a follow-up
by Muriel!
Stunning,
even in defeat.
The final stretch.
Out of nowhere!
Look at the way
that he struck it!
So it comes off the wall
but it seems like
he strikes it
outside of the boot.
Look at the rotation
on the ball.
He just sucks
all the rotation
out of the ball
and just drives
an absolute missile
to that top corner.
It's passed on Slotty.
The less said about this shot
the better.
His balance,
his technique fails him.
It's the final whistle.
That's it.
