Udinese pulled off a stunning comeback victory against Inter Milan, securing a 2-1 win at San Siro. This marks the first time they've avoided defeat in seven head-to-head matches against the Nerazzurri. Inter initially took the lead through Denzel Dumfries' goal in the 17th minute, but Udinese fought back with Keinan Davis scoring a penalty in the 29th minute after a VAR review. Arthur Atta sealed the win for Udinese with a beautifully curled shot into the far bottom corner in the 40th minute.




Despite Inter Milan's dominant ball possession, which stood at 68%, Udinese's strategy to catch them off guard paid off. Inter's defense struggled to contain Udinese's attackers, particularly Atta, who made a significant impact on the game. Meanwhile, Inter's own attacking efforts, led by Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, were unable to find the back of the net aside from Dumfries' initial goal.


The match saw several intense moments, including a crucial tackle by Oumar Solet on Nicolò Barella, which prevented a certain goal for Inter. Udinese goalkeeper Razvan Sava made key saves, and Inter's long siege in the second half ultimately failed to yield another goal. With this win, Udinese improved their standings, while Inter suffered a surprise home defeat.


Luck played a role for the visitors when Nicolò Bertola's deflection redirected Alessandro Bastoni's shot into his own goalkeeper Răzvan Sava’s arms, inadvertently saving a potential goal.


Inter took the lead in the 17th minute after a swift team move. Marcus Thuram expertly controlled the ball in the crowded box and set up Denzel Dumfries with a precise pass, allowing the Dutchman to score with a straightforward finish.


After taking the lead, Inter's pace slowed, and they were soon penalized for handball when Denzel Dumfries was deemed to have handled Nicolò Bertola's header from a well-worked free-kick. Keinan Davis calmly scored the resulting penalty, sending Yann Sommer the wrong way to level the score.


Udinese gained confidence after drawing level and deservedly took the lead in the 40th minute. A clever pass from Davis found Arthur Atta, who capitalized on Yann Bisseck's hesitation and coolly curled the ball into the bottom corner, scoring his first Serie A goal.


Inter's attack lost momentum in the latter stages of the first half, but Nicolò Barella almost broke through immediately after the restart. However, Oumar Solet made a crucial tackle to stop him. Marcus Thuram had a chance to score but headed the ball wide, while Hakan Çalhanoğlu's shot sailed agonizingly close to the goalpost as Inter ramped up the pressure. Just moments later, it seemed the pressure had paid off, but Thuram was flagged offside before setting up Federico Dimarco for a potential strike. The play was called back, but Dimarco's involvement hinted at Inter's continued attacking threat.


Keinan Davis brought temporary relief to Udinese from Inter's relentless pressure with his solo runs forward, one of which ended in a shot that sailed wide of the goal. Despite Davis's efforts, Udinese still had anxious moments, particularly when Inter launched a flurry of three shots in quick succession that were somehow denied. The pressure took its toll as Nicolò Barella's shot went over the bar, a moment of reprieve for Udinese.




Udinese's impressive defensive display, spearheaded by Oumar Solet's outstanding efforts, helped them hold off Inter's frustrated attacks and secure a crucial win. This victory marked their third away win in 11 Serie A matches in 2025 and extended their unbeaten run in competitive games to three. The win was a significant upset for Inter, who had begun the season with a 5-0 thrashing of Torino. Notably, it was also Inter's first home defeat to Udinese since December 2017.
