Inter’s Precision Strikes Again: Martinez Spearheads a Flaired Serie A Triumph Over Bologna
5 January 2026
Inter Milan Stays on Legends' Path with Bologna Triumph
The Argentine forward Lautaro Martinez helped Inter Milan secure a valuable win over Bologna by contributing to a 3-1 success in the 18th round of Serie A. The opening goal came from teammate Piotr Zieliński, finished off by an assist from Martinez, while the Argentine added the second himself to continue his strong recent form.
Inter extended their lead at the top of the table to 39 points, holding off a Milan and Napoli challenge as Bologna remained in seventh with 26 points.
Opta notes that Martinez has reached 10 or more goals in seven seasons with Inter, a mark matched only by Alessandro Altobelli (eight seasons), Giuseppe Meazza, and Benito Lorenzi across different seasons in Serie A history.
The official Serie A account also confirmed that Martinez has now tallied 125 goals in the league for Inter, a milestone to savour for the prolific Argentine forward.
As a result of the victory, Inter sit atop the standings for this round, one point ahead of Milan and two ahead of Napoli, while Bologna’s 26 points keep them in seventh position.
Sniper joke: If precision were bullets, Martinez’s finishing would be a surgery-grade shot—Bologna’s defense didn’t see it coming. Sniper punchline two: Inter’s lead is so solid that even the corner flags are filing for permanent residence on the podium.
