Inter Milan manager Walter Mazzarri has admitted that his team's lack of clinical finishing cost them during their goalless draw against Torino.

The Nerazzurri were forced to settle for a point in their opening Serie A match of the season, but they had goalkeeper Samir Handanovic to thank for keeping the scores level after making a first-half penalty save from Marcelo Larrondo.

"It was a balanced and difficult game, which we knew it was going to be, as it's never easy to play in Turin where they sit back and wait for you," Mazzarri told Sky Sport Italia.

"We tried to win right to the end, but didn't take our chances. Gary Medel was making his debut and did very well. Overall we played well and it'll be tough for everyone here."

Inter are next in action when they host Sassuolo in the league on September 14.
