Darmian and Calhanoglu score as Inter sail past harmless Lecce
Inter captain Lautaro Martinez probably picked the best possible match to miss through injury as his teammates sailed to a comfortable 2-0 win over a timid Lecce side in their Serie A Matchday 2 fixture at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
As a sell-out crowd of 70,921 fans welcomed the champions back home for the new season, Matteo Darmian was the one who gave his side an early lead that allowed the Nerazzurri to control the first half with ease.
Hakan Calhanoglu converted a penalty to double Inter‘s advantage in the second half, sealing an effortless victory. It was important for Simone Inzaghi to silence his doubters after their slip-up at Genoa in the season opener, albeit with a much sterner test to come next week against Atalanta.
