Lautaro scores and assists as Inter beat Genoa to go top | OneFootball

Inter won 2-1 as visitors against Genoa with an early goal from Yann Bisseck and a goal from captain Lautaro Martínez, at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, for the 15th round of the 2025-26 Serie A.

With this victory, the Milan team climbed to the top of the standings, taking advantage of their classic rival’s draw and Napoli’s defeat.

From the start, Cristian Chivu’s team showed an ambitious approach, with high pressing and territorial dominance that quickly translated into clear chances. That superiority was rewarded early with Bisseck’s goal, who capitalized on a deep run to open the scoring and set the tone for the match. As the minutes went by, the visitors controlled the tempo, circulated the ball neatly, and didn’t suffer in defense, imposing their quality on foreign soil.

With control of the game, the lead widened before halftime thanks to Lautaro Martínez’s appearance, who once again proved decisive in the opponent’s box to extend the difference. The captain was the offensive reference throughout the first half, participating in the build-up and maintaining pressure in the opponent’s half, which allowed the leaders to go into halftime with a fair and deserved advantage.

In the second half, the team led by Daniele De Rossi changed their attitude, pushed their lines forward, and sought to reduce the deficit with greater intensity. That effort paid off midway through the second half, when Vítinha took advantage of a chance in the box to beat the goalkeeper and make it 1-2. From there, the match became more hard-fought, with the home side pushing forward and the visitors dropping back in an organized manner.

In the final stretch, Lautaro Martínez left the pitch and the Argentine Carboni came on for the home team, a substitution aimed at reinforcing the midfield and maintaining the lead. With experience, defensive solidity, and character to withstand the pressure in the closing minutes, the leaders secured a key win that keeps them at the top of the table.
