By Martha | October 6th, 2007Inter strolled through the first half of this one, up 2-0 after 36 minutes thanks to two smooth finishes by Julio Cruz (who is doing is best to make me stop hating him). Really, it should have been three and could have been four shortly thereafter, with C
Inter v Sampdoria: Same Old Zlatan, Always Scoring
