April 2, (THEWILL)- Inter Milan extended their unbeaten run in Serie A to 24 games with a 2-0 triumph over relegation-threatened Empoli. Federico Dimarco’s early strike set the tone, and Alexis Sánchez’s late goal sealed the vital three points, propelling Inter 14 points clear at the summit.
The hosts wasted little time in asserting their authority, with Dimarco firing home the opener within five minutes. Inter controlled proceedings thereafter, though Empoli mustered a few half-chances to keep the Nerazzurri alert, particularly through Razvan Marin’s long-range effort that tested Emil Audero in the Inter goal.
Despite their dominance, the hosts had to wait until the closing stages to put the result beyond doubt. Denzel Dumfries and Sánchez combined for a clinical counter-attacking goal, with the Chilean applying the finishing touch to secure a 15th home league win of the campaign for Simone Inzaghi’s men.

While Inter’s procession towards the Scudetto continues unabated, Empoli’s predicament intensifies. A fourth consecutive match without scoring leaves them precariously poised within the relegation zone as the season’s climax looms.
