Nicola Zalewski chose an ideal moment to score his inaugural goal for Inter Milan, giving his team the lead against Torino with an exquisite curling shot from outside the penalty area. The goal showcased Zalewski`s exceptional technical ability and finesse.
The Roma loanee was positioned in an unfamiliar role as part of a heavily rotated Inter lineup. Before the match, coach Simone Inzaghi hinted that Zalewski might play closer to forwards Joaquin Correa and Mehdi Taremi in a 3-4-3 formation.
The 23-year-old broke the deadlock just 14 minutes into the game. After receiving a pass from Alessandro Bastoni, Zalewski skillfully evaded Gvidas Gineitis with an elegant back-heel control. He then cut inside onto his right foot and placed a precise shot into the far corner of the net.
Inter went on to secure a 2-0 victory, with Kristjan Asllani converting a penalty after Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic fouled Mehdi Taremi.
Zalewski`s Moment of Brilliance
The goal demonstrated Zalewski`s potential and his ability to make a significant impact for Inter Milan. His technical skill, quick thinking, and precise finishing were all on display in this memorable moment.
