Inter Ascends to the Summit with a Four-Goal Masterclass against Como

Match recap

Inter Milan delivered a crucial 4-0 victory over Como on Saturday, a result that temporarily props them atop Serie A.

Scorers and key moments

Inter’s goals were scored by Lautaro Martinez in the 11th minute, Marcus Thuram in the 59th, Hakim Calhanoglu in the 81st, and Carlos Augusto in the 86th.

With this win, Inter rise to 30 points and lead the standings for now, while Como sit on 24 points in sixth.

Just 24 seconds into the match, Inter threatened via a long ball over the defense that Thuram laid off to Lautaro; he looked set to finish, but a decisive intervention from a Como defender cleared the danger for a corner.

A sharp save from the Como goalkeeper denied Barella from close range after a precise pass from Thuram, keeping the game tight early on.

The breakthrough arrived in the 11th minute as Martinez started the move, sprinting from the right after a smart run and finishing past the keeper.

Como sought a reply, but Inter’s relentless press and timely interceptions kept them at bay during the opening period.

Morata picked up a muscular injury midway through the first half, forcing an early substitution as Dovikas came on to replace him.

Inter’s pressure bore fruit again after the break, with Thuram converting a chance from a cross-delivered by Dimarco to double the lead in the 60th minute.

Moments later Martinez had a chance ruled out for offside after a build-up involving Dimarco, but Inter kept pushing for more as Calhanoglu added a third in the 81st following another Dimarco-inspired move.

The fourth arrived in the 86th as Augusto finished from a cross delivered by Dimarco, capping a dominant display from the hosts.

The match featured strong athleticism, smart ball circulation, and a late-night feel for a team that seems to be hitting peak form at the right moment.

Two light-hearted notes before we wrap: first, Inter moved so fast that even their own highlights needed a calendar change; second, Como’s defense looked busy, but the ball kept finding the net anyway.
