Inter maintains perfect Serie A start with victory over Cagliari

Internazionale extended its perfect start to the Serie A season with a victory against Cagliari in Sardinia. A solitary goal from Hakan Calhanoglu secured the three points after the team generated 31 shots on goal throughout the match. Coach Cristian Chivu acknowledged that the performance became chaotic in the second half, leaving the side vulnerable to a potential equalizer. Despite the result, Chivu highlighted the necessity of rotating players to manage fitness levels following the World Cup. New signings Curtis Jones and John Stones made appearances as substitutes to gain match fitness and integrate into the team's style. The manager noted that the focus remains on building physical endurance for the current squad.
