In Turin, Marcelo Brozovic scored the game's lone goal in the 37th minute when he turned on the edge of the box and fired in his third goal of the year to give Inter an 11th victory in their previous 12 games. With the victory, Simone Inzaghi's team climbed into second place before their match against Manchester City in Istanbul the following weekend, but they were quickly passed by Lazio, who defeated Empoli 2-0.
With one week to go before their matchup with English champions City in Turkey, Inzaghi chose a potent lineup to face Torino, a hard-charging squad that was expecting to play in European football. Ivan Juric's Torino is in ninth position, three points behind eighth-place Fiorentina, and might earn a spot in Europe if UEFA disqualifies seventh-place Juventus for financial misconduct.
