Inter President Beppe Marotta

“We must not blame Calhanoglu. We haven’t spoken to him yet, we will do over the next few weeks. If we decide to take different paths, we will do that, but we are not there yet.”

FT: Inter 0-2 Fluminense

Inter are out of the Club World Cup. Fluminense will face either Manchester City or Al-Hilal in the quarter-finals.

2025-06-30 22:02:58

96'

Dimarco off the crossbar!

They’ve not been lucky either, scorcher from the edge of the area bounces off the top of the bar.

2025-06-30 22:00:51

93'

Inter 0-2 Fluminense: Hercules!

That’s done it.

Throw-in flicked on, it goes beyond Esposito and Darmian wasn’t expecting that, leaving a huge gap for Hercules to pick his spot and pick a precise angled drive into the far bottom corner.

2025-06-30 21:57:51

92'

Through ball for Lautaro, but he’s offside and scuffs the finish anyway.

2025-06-30 21:56:51

91'

Lautaro gets his head to it, but not cleanly.

Carboni then pulls back from the by-line for Carlos Augusto, who balloons it into the stands with his weaker right foot.

2025-06-30 21:55:52

90'

Into seven minutes of added time and Inter have a corner that was kindly gifted by Thiago Santos.

2025-06-30 21:55:07

89'

Luis Henrique with another horrible cross, then Valentin Carboni tries some stepovers and runs out of pitch.

2025-06-30 21:54:08

That Fabio save on Lautaro

2025-06-30 21:52:42

85'

Thiago Santos booked for bringing down Carlos Augusto.

2025-06-30 21:49:44

85'

Luis Henrique at one end and Fluminense on the other have shots well off target.

2025-06-30 21:49:07

82'

Lautaro Martinez off the upright!

It’s another chance in 60 seconds for the Argentine, this time his low finish manages to beat Fabio only to bounce off the inside of the far post!

2025-06-30 21:46:59

82'

What a save from Fabio!

Oh what a chance for Inter to equalise!

Fabio is 44 years old, but he made a spectacular reflex save from close range on Lautaro Martinez! The captain managed to get in front of his marker to hit the Esposito low cross first-time from seven yards!

2025-06-30 21:46:14

81'

Bernal off, Thiago Santos on.

2025-06-30 21:45:03

80'

Lautaro chance

Series of Inter crosses, eventually Lautaro manages to bring it under control and turns on a sixpence, but without the power needed to beat Fabio!

2025-06-30 21:44:33

79'

Arias flicks it acrobatically over De Vrij with what the South Americans call a ‘sombrero’ – cheeky.

2025-06-30 21:43:14

78'

Esposito struggles to control a long ball, Thiago Silva blocks him off, but the offside flag was up anyway.

2025-06-30 21:42:36

77'

Play resumes.

2025-06-30 21:41:45

That De Vrij miss
