Stankovic family derby: Filip saves while Aleksandar dreams of scoring

Venezia-Inter also offered a special meeting for the Stankovic family. On one side was Filip, tasked with protecting Venezia’s goal; on the other was Aleksandar, wearing the Nerazzurri shirt and carrying a personal ambition: scoring against his brother. It was an unusual and compelling subplot to the league match played at the Penzo on Wednesday, October 28.

The brothers’ duel added a distinctive story to the evening. Filip had to deal with Inter’s attempts, while Aleksandar had the chance to beat his own brother. The dream of scoring, however, remained unfulfilled: the Inter midfielder did not get on the scoresheet, while Venezia ultimately had to accept the final result.

For Inter, the 2-0 victory in Venice is the latest positive result in the recent schedule, following the 1-0 Champions League win over Shakhtar and the 2-1 Serie A victory against Fiorentina. Attention now turns to the derby: Milan-Inter is scheduled for Saturday, October 31, at 20:45.
