Sommer's Costly Repeats: Inter Milan Tumbles Again as Pisa Capitalizes
23 January 2026
Inter's Naive Keeper Suffers Again as Pisa Edge Inter at Meazza
Inter Milan hosted Pisa at Giuseppe Meazza in the 22nd round of Serie A, and Jan Sommer's recent string of costly errors continued to shadow the Nerazzurri.
Early in the game, in the 12th minute, Henrik Mkhitaryan played a back pass from midfield toward Sommer. The Swiss goalkeeper wandered outside his area and lingered on the ball for several seconds, inviting pressure from the Pisa attackers.
Sommer's miscontrol allowed the ball to reach Stefano Morio, who struck into an open net with the goalkeeper stranded outside his box.
A few minutes later, Morio again rose to meet a corner and headed in, Sommer touching the ball but unable to prevent the goal as it crossed the line.
Inter's defense and Sommer's form were questioned as the visitors took a 2-0 lead, setting the tone for a difficult afternoon for the hosts in Serie A and complicating their European campaign.
Despite attempts to rally, Inter could not recover, and the Swiss keeper's errors continued to cost the team valuable points.
Inter's management and supporters will be hoping for a quick correction before the next fixture, as defensive lapses threaten to derail their season.
And now, a touch of humor to keep the mood light: Sommer's back-pass routine is so legendary it could star in its own comedy special. If Inter really wants a fix, maybe they should install a “do not press” sign on Sommer's goal area. Punchline two—Inter's defense is so dramatic, it could be a recurring role in a soap opera titled "The Conceded Goal Turns."
