Despite an evenly contested first half, Lazio took the lead thanks to a Felipe Anderson goal in the 30th minute. Inter's hopes of tying the scoreline were dashed when Henrikh Mkhitaryan's goal was cancelled out due to offside. Both teams made important substitutions early in the second half.

However, Lazio's Immobile was replaced by Pedro.

Inter's De Vrij came on after Gosens had been substituted, and Martinez's final goal ensured a final 3-1 victory for the hosts. Despite moments of strong play on both sides, Inter certainly outclassed their opponents through their determination and relentless attacking play.
