The Nerazzurri showed early danger as Scamacca's header in the tenth minute went just wide. In the fourteenth minute, Scamacca, after being set up by Pašalić, struck the post from close range. In the twenty-first minute, Koba's shot from the outskirts of the area put Carnesecchi to the test as well. When Koopmeiner's hard shot was cleared off the line by Baschirotto in the 32nd minute, the Nerazzurri came dangerously close to taking the lead as Lookman's attempt could not be deflected on target and Ruggeri made a frantic clearing.
After Krstovic's header went wide on minute 54 of the second half, Pašalić dashed to the by-line and sent a shot that went just wide of the crossbar four minutes later. The Nerazzurri applied constant pressure, and in the 59th minute, Lookman's daisy-cutter finish past Falcone into the far bottom corner paid off. Lookman had gathered from Scamacca.
