Inter beat Trento 2-1 through Spinaccè-Zuberek A second consecutive win for Inter U23, who beat Trento to claim three crucial points in the race for the Serie C playoffs. The Nerazzurri started brightly and took the lead through Spinaccè’s header in the 15th minute. After a relatively quiet first half, the game burst into life after the break: Trento tried to push forward, but Vecchi’s side doubled their advantage when Zuberek converted from the penalty spot.

Pellegrini’s goal pulled the visitors back into the contest and the Gialloblù threw everything forward until the final whistle, but Inter held firm. It finished 2-1 at the U-Power Stadium, with Inter climbing to 48 points and moving up to ninth place in the table, overtaking Giana Erminio and AlbinoLeffe. The opening stages at the U-Power Stadium offered few clear chances.

Both teams took time to settle, with the tempo relatively measured. The first opportunity fell to Inter in the 10th minute: Fiordilino picked out Lavelli with a pass in behind, and the forward battled with Corradi before firing a diagonal effort just wide. Trento mainly looked to attack down the left flank: in the 15th minute, Maffei threaded a pass through for Candelari, who laid the ball off for Capone to shoot from the edge of the box, but Melgrati gathered comfortably.

Inter struck moments later. Berenbruch delivered a cross into the area and Cocchi, at the far post, headed it back across goal where Spinaccè dove in to nod home from close range, leaving Barlocco with no chance and giving Vecchi’s side the lead. Seven minutes later Cinquegrano nearly doubled the advantage when he rose unmarked to meet Cocchi’s corner, but his header flew over the bar.

The visitors tried to respond through efforts from Candelari and Chinetti, but Stante blocked both attempts. Inter continued to work the wide areas and use their forwards to stretch the play. In the 29th minute, Spinaccè’s lay-off created space on the right for Amerighi, whose cross picked out Cocchi at the back post, though his effort from a difficult angle was off target.
