BRESSO - Inter faced Varese in their rearranged Week 4 fixture of the Primavera championship this afternoon, the teams going into the match level on 26 points, three behind league leaders AC Milan. It was a tough test for the Nerazzurri but one they passed with flying colours as they ran out 3-1 winners. Varese had some chances to score in the first period but Longo put Inter in front shortly before half time. Stramaccioni's youngsters came out stronger after the break and pressed hard as they looked to extend their lead. Varese held firm until substitutes Terrani and Forte ended the game as a contest with strikes on 84 and 87 minutes. Bassi grabbed a consolation goal for the visitors with an injury-time free kick.
The Primavera's next match is away to Atalanta on Saturday.
