Whenever Edin Dzeko plays against Viktoria Plzen, the goals start flowing. Dzeko scored one goal and set up another Tuesday to lead Inter Milan to a 2-0 victory over the Czech club in the UEFA Champions League 2022-23. (More Football News)
It was the Bosnia international바카라s 10th goal in nine matches against Plzen, and ninth in the last six. The 10 goals against Plzen are the most Dzeko has scored against any team.
바카라This is certainly an important result,바카라 Inter coach Simone Inzaghi said. 바카라The boys were good to make the match simple because it wasn바카라t easy, in fact no Italian team had ever won here.
바카라We are happy because we knew we couldn바카라t underestimate our opponents and we didn바카라t do it. The lads did well, they remained focused and I congratulated them after the final whistle.바카라
Inzaghi surprisingly left Lautaro Martínez on the bench for the match, starting instead with Džeko and Joaquín Correa. And the two combined for Inter바카라s opener in the 20th minute.
Robin Gosens controlled a lofted ball with his back to goal and sent it to Correa, who in turn found Džeko on the left for an angled shot into the far bottom corner.
Plzen were reduced to 10 men in the 60th minute when midfielder Pavel Bucha was sent off with a red card. Referee Sandro Schärer initially gave a yellow card for Bucha바카라s challenge on Nicolò Barella but then changed it to a straight red after reviewing the incident.
In the 70th, Inter again broke forward and Džeko picked out Denzel Dumfries, who scored past Plzeň goalkeeper Jindřich Staněk. Inter has three points in Group C, while Plzen has zero. Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also in the group, and both won their opening matches.
Inter also received news that forward Romelu Lukaku should be back for its next Champions League match against Barcelona. The Belgium international is expected to return from his thigh injury after the international break.
바카라At the moment we are without Lukaku, but with Džeko playing so well he can recover calmly,바카라 Inzaghi said. 바카라Edin did well, like all his teammates. Lukaku will be back after the break and then I will have to choose the front two on a game-by-game basis.바카라
