Inter Milan secured their second consecutive victory of the Serie A season with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cagliari at the Unipol Domus. The only goal of the game came early, on 9 minutes, when Hakan Calhanoglu unleashed a powerful strike from outside the box into the far corner after Nicolo Barella's clever pass. Inter defender Manuel Akanji was booked on 14 minutes for a reckless challenge. Cagliari pushed forward in the second half in search of an equaliser, but Inter's defence remained resolute. Alessandro Deiola was cautioned on 56 minutes, and Kevin Carlos received a yellow card on 88 minutes. The statistics show Cagliari had 9 shots with only 2 on target and 39% possession, while Inter registered 16 attempts with 5 on target and dominated possession with 61%. Hakan Calhanoglu was named man of the match for his goal and commanding midfield performance. With six points from two games, Inter moved to the top of the table, while Cagliari remain in 18th place with zero points. Can Simone Inzaghi's men maintain their perfect start against Atalanta next week?
