Cagliari fans peering out of windows of buildings surrounding the Unipol Domus stadium had to pull down the curtains less than 10 minutes into the match.

The fault lies with the young man from Bahia Blanca, Argentina: every time he sees the red and blue of Cagliari, he remembers he is “Toro” (bull) and mercilessly stabs the net.

In 12 games against Cagliari, he has a goal. He is Lautaro Martinez. The latest goal opened the second consecutive victory for Inter Milan coach Cristian Chivu.

Inter built the opening goal according to the old formula, with familiar faces: a series of passes initiated from home, Bastoni advanced on the left wing to cross the ball for Lautaro to head in from close range.

Lautaro scored his second goal in Serie A 2025/26, after more than a month of silence. This was also his 117th goal for the Nerazzurri – rising to 5th place in the list of greatest scorers in Inter history.

Here, there is a detail that few people pay attention to: the situation originated from Chivu's direct command.

When the home team was thrown into the Inter field, the Romanian coach himself took the ball and passed it to Akanji, signaling Luis Henrique to move up to find space. The away team deployed from the right wing, switched and fully exploited the strongest triangle on that side: Carlos Augusto – Barella – Bastoni. Lautaro took care of the rest.

The 2-0 goal in the final minutes also came from the left wing, this time Dimarco sent an uncomfortable low cross, allowing Esposito to easily tap the ball into the empty net.

It was Pio Esposito's first goal in Serie A, witnessed by his father in the stands, ending a sweet night for Inter.

This result helped Inter surpass Cagliari as well as Atalanta – the team that drew 1-1 with Juventus – to rise to 5th place in the rankings.

Inter tifosi hope their team finds stability from this victory. Ahead, Lautaro Martinez and his teammates are confident of taking 3 points in the reception of Slavia Prague in the Champions League (2am on October 1).

Scored: Lautaro 9', Esposito 82'.
