Inter came back twice in the Derby della Madonnina to draw 2-2 against AC Milan at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano’s San Siro district. Suso scored a brace but saw both goals cancelled out in the second half when Antonio Candreva scored an absolute screamer first followed by an Ivan Perisic equalizer in the 91st minute.
Samir Handanovic – 5,5: Was only ever asked to do anything twice: both times Milan scored but can’t be blamed for either goal where his defence let him down.
Danilo D’Ambrosio – 6,5: Second best Inter player of the night. Made few mistakes & his crosses were actually pretty good. Please keep this up Danilo!
Gary Medel – 6: Had 100% passing accuracy when had to be brought off due to injury. Should be given more chances in central defence when recovered.
Joao Miranda – 5,5: Humiliated by Suso for the 2nd goal & made by his standards an unusual amount of mistakes yet worked hard to make amends.
Cristian Ansaldi – 4,5: Horror show tonight. Basically gifted Suso space to pick his corner & generally all over the place. Brought off in 65th min for Nagatomo.
Marcelo Brozovic – 5: Seemed unable to make simple passes or deliver decent balls from dead ball situations. Correctly subbed off in 75th min for Jovetic.
Geoffrey Kondogbia – 5,5: Looks slow, sluggish & caught out of position many times. Works hard but it’s simply not good enough. Needs to do much better.
Antonio Candreva – 6,5: His sometimes wasteful shooting is forgiven for scoring an absolute screamer. Looks much more comfortable when played centrally.
Joao Mario – 5,5: Deployed as a trequartista in the 1st half which resulted in him being invisible. Played deeper in 2nd half & so he did better.
Ivan Perisic – 6: Scored the equalizer in the dying minutes of the match making amends for missing a sitter in 1st half. Very important for Inter right now.
Mauro Icardi – 5: Completely invisible for the entire match bar 1 occasion when kicking air instead of ball. Still hasn’t scored against AC Milan.
Jeison Murillo – 6: Came on in 36th min for the injured Medel & made amends for his mistake which led to Milan’s 2nd goal by assisting Perisic to 2-2.
Yuto Nagatomo – 5.5: Was brought on for after Ansaldi’s horror show & actually was an improvement. Can’t cross to save his life but didn’t lose the ball either..
Stevan Jovetic – 5,5: Replaced Brozovic & despite not directly being involved in anything clearcut his presence & movement caused problems for Milan.
Stefano Pioli – 6: Gameplan almost entirely backfired when Milan took lead twice due to in part his formation but also meant that Inter controlled derby.
Inter’s performance – 6: Takes a lot of mental strength to come back from behind twice in a derby where you’ve been dominating. Important point mentally.
Paolo Tagliavento – 5,5: Far too picky & waived his cards a little bit too much. His bookings of Kondogbia & Kucka were cheap to say the least.
