Inter Milan roared back to life in Serie A with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Udinese on Saturday, ending a frustrating three-game winless run across all competitions. The defending champions showcased their attacking prowess, thanks to a brace from star striker Lautaro Martinez, who spearheaded their charge.
The match began at a blistering pace, with Inter taking the lead within the first minute. Matteo Darmian’s pinpoint cross found Davide Frattesi, who slotted the ball past Udinese’s goalkeeper. However, the home team responded swiftly, equalizing in the 35th minute through a well-placed header from Christian Kabasele.
Just before halftime, Martinez injected momentum into Inter’s performance, capitalizing on a chaotic scramble in the box to bundle the ball over the line and restore the lead. The Argentinian continued his dominance early in the second half, extending Inter’s advantage to two goals with a clinical finish.
Udinese, though, fought back with determination. Lorenzo Lucca pulled one goal back in the 83rd minute, leaving Inter clinging to a precarious lead until the final whistle.
With this victory, Inter climbed to third place in the Serie A table, level on points with second-placed AC Milan. They are trailing only Torino, which has a game in hand and faces Lazio on Sunday. The win will undoubtedly inject confidence into the Inter squad as they look to maintain their challenge for the Serie A title.
