Defending champions, Inter Milan play away against Lazio in the 8th week of the Italian League Serie A 2021/22, Saturday (16/10/2021).  The match that became the event for Simone Inzaghi's reunion at the Stadio Olimpico had a bitter end for him.  In a game that was studded with cards, His Inter fell for 1-3 to Sarri's Lazio.

Inter led 1-0 at half-time through Ivan Perisic's 12th-minute penalty. The penalty itself was awarded after Elseid Hysaj was sentenced to violating Nicolo Barella in the penalty area.

In the second half, Lazio continued to try to attack Inter's backline for a goal back.  Lazio finally reap positive results.  From Alessandro Bastoni's handball, the referee gives the penalty to Lazio.  Immobile stepped up as executioner and managed to beat Samir Handanovic to make the score 1-1.
