Genoa. Inter Milan, the reigning champions of the Italian league, did not go beyond a draw (2-2) in their debut in Serie A 2024-2025 at Genoa, after going ahead on the scoreboard thanks to a double from Marcus Thuram.
Inter, who started last season with five consecutive victories, have already dropped two points in this start after conceding a goal from the Genoese in the final stoppage time.
Simone Inzaghi’s players were immediately outplayed by Genoa, who scored in the 20th minute after a mistake by goalkeeper Yann Sommer was well exploited by Alessandro Vogliacco.
Thuram, whose first season in Serie A was quite convincing (13 goals in the championship), brought the match to a draw thanks to a good header (30).
The French international, who was heavily criticised during Euro 2024 for his lack of effectiveness in front of goal, scored again 8 minutes from the end of the match thanks to a good pass from his teammate Davide Frattesi.
But Inter defender Yann Aurel Bisseck deflected a Genoa cross into the box with his hand in stoppage time.
Brazilian Junior Messias scored after landing on the rebound from the penalty he had just missed (90+5) and started a draw that tastes like a victory for Genoa and a defeat for Inter.
