🇮🇹 Martínez delivers for Inter as they win away at Udinese
High-flying Udinese hosted Inter in the Saturday afternoon Serie A kick-off.
Here’s what happened.
Inter draw level on points with Milan with Udinese win
Scorers: Frattesi 1′, Martínez 45+3, 47′; Kabasele 35′, Lucca 83′
Lautaro Martínez banished his goalscoring woes as Inter delivered a 3-2 win away at Udinese.
Inter immediately banished any thoughts of their derby defeat to Milan with a route-one style goal after just one minute.
Matteo Darmian played a long through ball forward for Davide Frattesi to get between two defenders and scuff his shot beyond Maduka Okoye.
Yet Udinese have plenty to offer this season and they hit back ten minutes before half-time when Christian Kabasele directed his glancing header perfectly beyond Yann Sommer.
On the stroke of half-time, Lautaro Martínez fired home his first goal of the season for Inter, converting from a cross supplied by Federico DiMarco from the left-hand side.
That seemed to have lifted the pressure on the Argentina international, and two minutes into the second half as Marcus Thuram put a cross into the box and Martínez let fly with a powerful first-time shot into the roof of the net.
Udinese made things tricky when they got their second with seven minutes of normal time remaining through Lorenzo Lucca, but Inter managed to hold out for this much-needed win.
