Inter were left to pay for an extremely disappointing performance on Friday night, slipping to a 2-1 defeat to Cagliari in Serie A.
Despite lying just six points above the relegation zone, it was Cagliari who dominated the opening exchanges against their more illustrious opponents. After creating numerous chances, I Rossoblu got their deserved opening goal on the half hour mark, as club captain Luca Ceppitelli planted a towering header past Samir Handanovic in the Inter goal.
Cagliari's joy was short-lived however, as Radja Nainggolan's cross was met by a stooping header from Lautaro Martinez to equalise for the Nerazzurri just seven minutes later.
