A goal from second half substitute Lautaro Martinez was just about enough to help Inter to a narrow 1-0 win over Parma at Ennio Tardini.
After an even start to the game it was Parma who had the first golden opportunity of the game, after Gervinho cut inside from the left hand side and unleashed a stinging shot which cannoned off the crossbar, a let off for the Inter defence who looked to have fallen asleep.
The visitors had good spells of possession throughout the first half but struggled heavily in the final third, with Mauro Icardi often finding himself isolated up front with very little support around him.
