However, due to playing subjectively afterwards, Inter Milan let the home team equalize 1-1 at the beginning of the second half. The player who equalized the score for Hellas Verona was striker Giampaolo Pazzini with an accurate shot from the 11m mark after Alessio Cerci collided with goalkeeper Handanovic and fell in the penalty area.
