Inter finally in the right side of the Serie A Table after being for 14 weeks in the left side near the relegation area.   This victory  sees Inter in the 5th position with 23 points.  Napoli can take the 5th position if defeating AS Roma.

The  awaited big ex from Cesena is defender Yuto Nagatomo.  Nagatomo played for Cesena from 2010-2011 making 16 appearances being his first Serie A team after his transfer from FC Tokyo.

Cesena coach Daniele Arrigoni still struggling to put Cesena out of the relegation area.  This is a painful defeat for Cesena remaining in the 18th position with 12 points and a negative goal difference of - 9.
 
Opening the score is Inter in the second half.  A headed goal by defender Andrea Ranocchia  defeating Cesena goalkeeper Atonioli in the center after the assist by defender Maicon .  It's all "a defender job."....
 

Here is the official lineup from CESENA by coach Daniele Arrigoni:

Cesena: 1 Antonioli; 16 Comotto, 25 Von Bergen, 2 Rodriguez, 6 Lauro; 18 Parolo, 5 Guana, 77 Ceccarelli; 10 Mutu, 8 Candreva; 7 Eder.
