M'Bala Nzola's late punishment rebuffed inefficient Inter Milan and gave Serie A strugglers Spezia a shock 2-1 triumph on Friday. The Nerazzurri's thin title trusts are without a doubt over after they were beaten by transfer undermined Spezia interestingly at Stadio Alberto Picco.
Bartlomiej Dragowski saved an early Lautaro Martinez punishment, and that was an indication of things to come as innocuous second-put Inter ruled most of the game however missed the mark on forefront. Daniel Maldini, borrowed from Inter's furious opponents Milan, put Spezia in front just shy of 10 minutes in the wake of coming on as a substitute at half-time yet Romelu Lukaku's late spot-kick hoped to have rescued a point.
Nzola had the last say by opening home from 12 yards out after Denzel Dumfries burst Viktor Kovalenko over, guaranteeing Inter stay 15 focuses behind out of control pioneers Napoli. Martinez missed a once in a lifetime chance to give Inter a fourteenth moment lead, Dragowski plunging to one side to keep his punishment out after official Livio Marinelli behind schedule highlighted the spot for a foul by Mattia Caldara on Danilo D'Ambrosio following a VAR check that took unreasonably lengthy.
Simone Inzaghi's men were given an admonition when Kevin Agudelo's work from a tight point took a diversion prior to circling up and stirring things up around town of the crossbar.
Yet again the bustling Dragowski ruined Martinez by spilling his strike the bar after Spezia were gotten on the break, and albeit the Argentina international found the rear of the net soon after the interval, his header was precluded because of Lukaku being offside.
Maldini made Inter pay for their iniquity with a clinical first-time finish all of a sudden after splendid hold-up play from Nzola. Lukaku hoped to have saved Inter's blushes with his 50th Serie An objective from the spot after Salvador Ferrer was decreed to have fouled Dumfries following a VAR check.
There was one last turn, however, as Dumfries mysteriously pushed Kovalenko and the ice-cool Nzola moved forward to tie down a memorable win in Spezia's fight to stay away from the drop.
