The match between Empoli and Inter took a long time to get into action. It was not until the second half that goals were scored.
Romelu Lukaku scored the first goal of the game. Inter won the ball back in midfield and through a great counter attack managed to get in front of the opposing team's goal.
On the edge of the box, Lukaku played a lovely one-two with Brozovic and the latter, ultimately, set him up to beat Perisan.
The Belgian celebrated the goal with a controversial gesture. Against Juventus, in the Coppa, he received racist insults and told a section of the 'Bianconeri' to shut up, which cost him a card and a one-match suspension, although he was finally cleared by the Italian Football Federation (FICG).
This time, he did the military salute again and put his index finger to his lips, with one notable difference. This time, there was no yellow card for him.
