Inter Breaks the Deadlock Early as Lautaro Martinez Shines

The Argentine striker and Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez put his team ahead against Como on Saturday at Giuseppe Meazza, in matchday 14 of the Italian league.

Martinez began the move himself, receiving a pass in midfield and cleverly laying it off to Luis Henrique on the right, who then charged into the box.

Henrique returned the favor with a precise cross to Lautaro, who, after 11 minutes, struck a powerful, accurate shot into the net.

According to Opta statistics, Como is the 30th different opponent Lautaro has scored against in Serie A.

Since Lautaro’s first season with Inter in 2018-2019, no other player has reached this number in the five major European leagues.

Inter entered the game in third place in the league with 27 points after this round.

Punchline 1: If goals were jokes, Lautaro just delivered a killer punchline that left Como speechless. Punchline 2: With him around, the goalkeeper is basically playing karaoke—he’ll hit the right note every time.
