Milan, Italy – Thiago Motta and Philippe Coutinho scored in a minute span of the second half, and Inter Milan won for just the second time 1 over Cagliari on Saturday at the San Siro.

Motta opened the scoring 9 minutes after halftime and Coutinho followed in the 60th, as Inter won for just the third time in 10 league games this season. The club still sits just three points above the relegation zone.

Cagliari lost its third straight during a six-game winless skid, and fell out of the top half of the table to 11th place.

Giampaolo Pazzini set up the opening goal and Motta converted with a shot from close range to the upper left. Coutinho added a second goal off a fast break, as he finished a pass from Ricardo Alvarez to the lower left.

Joaquin Larrivey pulled a goal back for Cagliari with 2 minutes left in normal time, but Inter held on for the victory.
