May 04, (THEWILL) – Inter Milan put on a dominant display against Hellas Verona on Wednesday, crushing the relegation-threatened side 6-0 in Serie A with goals from Edin Dzeko, Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, and an own goal from Adolfo Gaich.
The win moves Inter back into the top four of the Serie A table, boosting their chances of securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League. For Verona, the result is a further blow to their hopes of avoiding relegation.
The Nerazzurri were relentless from the outset, with Martinez and Dzeko causing constant problems for the Verona defense. Gaich’s own goal began the onslaught of Verona’s misery and Calhanoglu’s stunning long-range strike compounded the hosts’ situation. Meanwhile Martinez and Dzeko each scored two goals to complete the rout.
Inter will keep an eye on how this performance can benefit them in their upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final against rivals AC Milan but before then, they will have to navigate past Jose Mourinho’s Roma on Saturday, while Verona will look to bounce back in their crucial clash against Lecce on Sunday.
