Keita Balde scores, sees red as Inter Milan secure Champions League berth

Keita Balde endured mixed feelings in Inter Milan’s 2-1 win over Empoli in an Italian Serie A encounter at Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday.

The Senegal international broke the deadlock in the 51st minute of the game after receiving a pass from Matteo Politano.

Then in the 76th minute, Hamed Junior Traore leveled for Aurelio Andreazzoli’s men following Salih Ucan’s assist.

With nine minutes to time, Radja Nainggolan scored the match-winning goal to help his side end the season on a winning note.

Having been cautioned earlier, Balde saw his second yellow card and was subsequently sent off in added time.
