Inter Milan secured a home victory over Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Round 11 of the Italian championship. The hosts needed just two goals scored within the first twenty minutes to claim all three points and end Cesc Fabregas's side's six-match winning streak. From the opening minutes, the match was played at a high tempo: Cristian Chivu's men looked to quickly transition from defense to attack and exploit open space on the flanks, which brought immediate results. ### Two Goals in Twenty Minutes: How Inter Took a 2:0 Lead The scoring was opened as early as the 12th minute. Federico Dimarco dispossessed Lucas Da Cunha and launched a counterattack: Marcus Thuram passed to Djed Spence, who delivered a cross across the face of goal, leaving Francesco Pio Esposito with a simple tap-in. Shortly after, the Nerazzurri could have doubled their advantage, but Dimarco failed to finish cleanly following a pass from Nicolo Barella. The second goal was even more clinical: Piotr Zielinski broke down the left flank and sent a cross into the box, Como defender Alex Valle botched his clearance, and Thuram fired home from close range. Thus, the hosts established a comfortable cushion before the midpoint of the first half. ### Como Responds, but Milan Defense Holds Firm After conceding twice, the visitors tried to establish possession, but Inter's defense remained organized and denied the opponent any real scoring threats. Meanwhile, the hosts continued to create chances: Carlos Augusto unleashed a dangerous low shot, but Como goalkeeper Robert Sanchez tipped it wide. After the restart, Inter remained the sharper side as well — Sanchez denied Dimarco, and later Thuram fired just wide of the far post following a combination with Spence. ### Rare Flashes from the Visitors and the Final Stretch Como's first truly dangerous opportunity at Inter's goal arrived only in the 63rd minute: Nico Paz struck a shot that bounced off the turf in front of the goalkeeper, but Josep Martinez reacted in time to save his team. In the 84th minute, Paz had another chance to narrow the deficit — following a pass from Marc-Oliver Kempf, the Argentine shot first-time from inside the penalty area, but his effort rattled the woodwork. The visitors could change nothing more, and Inter safely closed out the match to secure the win. ### Conclusion: Three Points and the End of Como's Winning Run The final 2:0 scoreline in Inter's favor was the result of two clinical attacking bursts at the very beginning of the match. Goals from Esposito and Thuram earned Milan three points and, just as importantly, halted Como's six-match winning run, which had stood as one of the longest in the current Serie A season. For Cristian Chivu's team, this victory served as proof of their efficiency in transitional phases of play, whereas Cesc Fabregas's Como suffered defeat and dropped points for the first time in a long sequence of games. ## Fact-Check & Sources - ["Интер" остановил победную серию "Комо": два быстрых гола решили судьбу матча Серии А](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/football/inter-zupiniv-peremozhnu-seriyu-komo-dva-1794167304.html) - Primary source: 2:0 scoreline, goals by Esposito (12') and Thuram, Como's snapped six-match streak, goalkeepers Sanchez and Martinez, Nico Paz shots on 63' and 84'.
