Inter Milan vs S.S. Lazio Timeline: All Big Moments in the Match History

Inter Milan vs. Lazio Classic Match Recap: A Two-Day Compilation and Record-Keeping EffortRecently, I saw some fans discussing the match between Inter Milan and Lazio in a fan group. Some said, “That fight was brutal,” while others mentioned “Icardi’s hat-trick,” but no one could recall exactly which year it was. I thought, why not compile a chronological list of the two teams’ important matches and create a comprehensive record to help everyone understand this part of history?

I turned on my computer and started searching for match highlights online. I searched for “Inter Milan vs Lazio classic match” on YouTube and Dailymotion. The results were a mess: some were funny clips edited by fans, and some were titled “Shocking Showdown” but were actually goals from other teams.

There were very few useful official review videos, and many of them were of poor quality, blurry like old TV signals.

I finally found a video of the 2019 Italian Cup semi-final. The two teams played 120 minutes, and the match was decided by a penalty shootout. I clicked on it, but the sound was intermittent and the picture was choppy. Although the content was important, it was very tiring to watch.

Old matches are poorly recorded, so it’s very difficult to recreate the details from the video.

I downloaded a video editing software to piece together clips from several important matches. The interface was very complicated, with buttons scattered everywhere, like an airplane cockpit.

It took me an hour just to learn how to cut a 10-second clip. To make matters worse, I accidentally deleted the audio tracks of three videos and couldn’t restore them. I was so angry that I put my coffee cup on the keyboard and almost spilled it all over myself.

I started arranging the matches by year:

• 2005 Italian Cup
• 2010 League conflict
• 2013 title decider
• 2018 Icardi hat trick
• 2019 penalty shootout

But then I ran into a problem: different websites listed different dates for the matches. Some said the 2010 clash was on May 3, while others said it was on May 5. I checked four websites and found four different dates.

To find out which date was correct, I logged into the National Library’s digital archive system and found a scanned copy of that year’s Milan Sports Newspaper. It clearly stated that the match took place on May 3.

At that moment, I realized that many websites had incorrect information and that only the original news reports were reliable.

I thought I had listed everything, but then a netizen commented, “You forgot the second leg of the 2005 Italian Cup semifinals.” I checked and found that I had indeed missed it. Lazio won 2-1 at home, advancing with a 3-2 aggregate score.

That match was crucial, but there were almost no videos online, so I had to rely on text reports to reconstruct it.

Many people are talking about the brawl that broke out after the 2010 match. I found three videos from different angles and saw players rushing onto the stands and fighting with fans.

Later, the league punished several players and deducted points from both teams. The conflict had a significant impact and changed the rankings of both teams that year.

In the 2018 league, Icardi scored three goals by himself. The three goals were all different: a header, a left-footed shot, and a penalty kick. He was in great form at the time and almost won the game on his own.

I found a clear version of this video, which is one of the few old match clips with good picture quality.

That Italian Cup match was particularly tense. The score was 1-1 in regular time, with no goals in extra time. In the penalty shootout, the Inter Milan goalkeeper saved two shots, helping his team advance.

I deliberately cut in the save moment and added slow motion, which was thrilling to watch.

I spent the whole night editing the video and was ready to export it. When the progress bar reached 99%, it froze. I waited for 20 minutes, but nothing happened. I restarted the software and exported it again, but the last two clips were in the wrong order.

I checked the timeline again, readjusted it, and finally succeeded on the third try.

After uploading the video, several people left comments telling me about other games worth recording:

• Lazio’s 4-2 victory in 2002
• Inter Milan’s last-minute winner in 2016
• Inzaghi’s comeback victory in 2022

I added these to the text description as supplementary information.

This整理 made me realize:
Making a timeline is not simply piecing together videos.
You have to verify the dates and compare multiple sources.
Many classic matches do not have high-definition recordings.
The memories of fans are important because they can help you discover omissions.

Although the process was tiring, I felt a great sense of accomplishment after finishing.

If you want to compile the history of a match:

1. List important matches
2. Check official records to confirm dates
3. Find videos and text to reconstruct the match
4. Post it and listen to feedback from netizens
5. Don’t strive for perfection; just get it done

This way, you can create your own match memories.
