Key Moments
Early drama around the 3rd minute saw a defensive error from Inter leading to a promising Belgian move, but Inter recovered quickly and kept pressing with sustained attack.
Inter broke the deadlock in the 41st minute through Dumfries, then doubled the lead just before halftime as Martinez found the net at 45+1'.
The second half saw Çalhanoğlu convert a penalty at 53' to make it 3-0, before Esposito capped the night with a late strike in the 76th minute.
Inter then managed the remainder of the game with strategic substitutions to rest key players ahead of a crucial clash against Napoli, while maintaining control of the match.
As the final whistle approached, Inter’s rhythm remained intact and the result reflected a polished, clinical performance that left Union SG with a tough night in Brussels.
Humor time: If Inter keep this up, Union SG might have to install a security system just to keep the goals out.
Sniper joke: The only thing moving faster than Inter’s attack was the seconds on the scoreboard clicking away.
