Inter had a chance to enter this month's international break on a strong winning streak after posting victories over Torino and Viktoria Plzen.

However, it appears that these problems will persist into October after squandering an early lead in Udine.

Inter was able to get off to the best possible start in the game.

Nicolo Barella scored a stunning free kick from a distance into the top corner after only five minutes had passed.

Against a team in form, Inter could have easily taken control of the situation with an early lead.

Inter responded to going up a goal by getting overrun in the midfield right away, much like the Milan derby.

[{"selector":"#anim-1ad72776-542c-4dec-a9de-02c9ac1ca3ee","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64c294c5-32a3-4f36-a32c-1480bdcb4cba","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Every ball was first touched by Udinese, who made it a one-way game.
