Paolo Maldini’s son helps Spezia beat Inter 2-1

Spezia won their home game against Inter 2-1 in a dramatic fashion after three goals after the break – two of them from penalty kicks.

Inside 12 minutes of play Inter won a penalty after a VAR check and Lautaro Martinez got the ball to take the kick. His shot, though, was saved by Bartlomiej Dragowski, who kept the 0-0 on the scoreboard.

Just over half an hour into the first half Kevin Agudelo tried to lob Samir Handanovic, but the ball landed on the crossbar.

Just ten minutes into the second half Spezia shocked the Nerazzurri as Paolo Maldini’s son – Daniel collected a pass from M’Bala Nzola and AC Milan’s youth scored against their city rivals into the bottom left corner.
