Inter Milan scored four times in a 12-minute spell either side of half-time and added another couple late on to rout Lazio 6-0 in a lopsided contest of Serie A title contenders on Monday (December 16, 2024). Lazio were unbeaten at home in Serie A and matched Inter for most of the first half in front of their own fans at the Stadio Olimpico. However, four minutes from halftime Hakan Calhanoglu put Inter ahead from the penalty spot and Federico Dimarco doubled the lead seconds before the break when he volleyed home a cross from Denzel Dumfries.
