The match saw notable performances from Davide Frattesi, Stefan de Vrij, and Lautaro Martinez, who reached a milestone of 101 Serie A goals.
Despite a string of absentees including Yann Sommer, Marcus Thuram, Hakan Calhanoglu, Francesco Acerbi, Stefano Sensi, and Juan Cuadrado, Inter maintained their winning streak in 2024. The team adapted to changes forced by the previous Champions League fixture against Atletico Madrid.
A change in refereeing personnel at halftime added a curious twist to the match, as Daniele Doveri’s injury led to Niccolò Baroni taking over as the referee.
Inter extended their lead with goals from Frattesi and Martinez, showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite Lecce’s attempts to claw back into the game, Inter remained dominant, with de Vrij adding a fourth goal from a corner.
The victory highlighted Inter’s depth and ability to perform well even with changes in the lineup, reaffirming the importance of squad rotation in maintaining success throughout the season.
