Inter beat Parma 3-0 on Saturday at the San Siro, in the sixth round of Serie A. The goals were scored by Peter Sucic, Hakan Çalhanoglu from a penalty, and Marcus Thuram, all in the first half. According to several media outlets, including ANSA and Foot Mercato, the defending champions have taken the lead in the league, although Gazeta Esportiva specifies that it is a provisional first place.

A match wrapped up in the first half

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Nerazzurri put the match on the right track within the first twenty minutes, taking advantage of every defensive error by Gilardino's team. The score was already 3-0 at half-time, as the same outlet reports. Kicker highlights that Thuram made it 3-0 in the 31st minute. Inter, still unbeaten in Serie A, thus continues their excellent start to the season, according to Foot Mercato.

A team that rises to the top

With this victory, Inter have 16 points, according to Placar. Several sources, including Terra and Bola na Rede, claim that the Milanese team will go to sleep at the top of the Italian league. Calciomercato.it notably mentions Sucic's performance, which is said to have silenced the rumours about him, while Gilardino, Parma's coach, is said to have been overwhelmed.

Reactions and what's next

The Portuguese and Italian media agree on Inter's dominance, which settled the match early in the first half. No statements from the coaches or players were reported in the sources consulted. Inter's next fixture is not mentioned in the dossier.
