With a strong header in the 78th minute, Caldirola, who began his career at Inter but was unable to establish himself as a regular member of the first team, paid a visit to his old squad. The loss makes Inter's troubles worse because they lost a great chance to move up to fourth place in the Serie A standings. The first half was mostly unremarkable for Inter despite a few opportunities, notably a failed header from Romelu Lukaku. Early in the second half, Monza threatened when Carlos Augusto shot into the side-netting.
Stefan de Vrij, a defender for Inter, suffered an injury and Nicolo Rovella, a long-range shooter for Monza, also posed a threat. But Caldirola's late goal gave Monza an astonishing win and extended Inter's hapless run of play. With the loss, Inter now has only one point from their previous five league contests, a concerning trend for the squad at this key time in the season.
