As the match drew to a close, Inter's Roberto Gagliardini was sent off in the 89th minute for a failed tackle, but even though the game seemed to be heading for an Inter win, Salernitana found an opportunity to tie the game thanks to Antonio Candreva in the last minute of regular time. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, and both teams were left pondering what could have been. Overall, it was an interesting match between two competitive teams.
