Inter Milan swept Hellas Verona aside in the opening half-hour with Nicolò Barella and Edin Dzeko goals, both on Ivan Perisic assists.
Lautaro Martinez was suspended, so Joaquin Correa stepped in, while Stefan de Vrij returned after a month out through injury. Antonin Barak and Miguel Veloso were still out of action.
Lorenzo Montipò used his legs to deny a Denzel Dumfries cross-shot at the near post, then was at full stretch with one hand to palm an Ivan Perisic low drive out of the far bottom corner.
Inter broke the deadlock when Daniel Bessa gave it away cheaply in midfield, Perisic burst down the left and his cross found Nicolò Barella for a volley at the back post into the roof of the net.
