This Serie A showdown at the San Siro Stadium on the 28th of February, 2024 did not disappoint as Inter Milan completely outplayed Atalanta with a dominant 4-0 victory.

Simply from the scoreline, one could guess that Inter Milan had an upper hand throughout the match. This is supported by the clear and significant difference in the total number of shots. Inter Milan produced 15 shots compared to Atalanta's 6, proving their offensive dominance. It was not just the quantity, but the quality of these attempts that mattered. A total of 7 of Inter Milan's shots found their target compared to Atalanta's 1. This low conversion rate for Atalanta speaks to their lack of productivity in the offensive third.

Of course, the goals speak for themselves. Matheo Darmian initiated Inter's score sheet only 26 minutes into the game with an assist from Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Lautaro Martinez - again before the half-time whistle - doubled the lead. In the second half, Federico Dimarco and Davide Frattesi marked their names in the scoreline, cementing Inter's victory.

One aspect that highlights Inter Milan's superiority in this match even further was their effective utilization of set-pieces. The home team executed four corner kicks which compared to Atalanta's single one, demonstrates the home team's superior ball control and consequent creation of more scoring opportunities.

However, the match wasn't all rosy for Inter Milan as they saw themselves penalized with fouls 10 times demonstrating bouts of aggression and loss of composure. In comparison, Atalanta committed 15 fouls and also accumulated six yellow cards, twice as many as Inter Milan, reflecting a more reckless and disruptive approach to the game.

In terms of offsides, both teams were caught twice, suggesting that they were on par regarding their tactical maneuvers during the game. However, Atalanta’s higher foul count may hint towards a more desperate style of play as they found themselves on the backfoot throughout the match.

In conclusion, this match was dominated by Inter Milan as demonstrated by their offensive efficiency, effective use of set-pieces, and significantly lower count of disciplinary actions. Atalanta failed to pose a substantial threat to Inter Milan, and their higher count of fouls and yellow cards reflect the pressure they were under during the game. A combination of siege-like offense and composed play led to Inter Milan’s decisive victory.
