Lautaro Martinez’s dramatic header finally broke Venezia’s resistance, giving Inter Milan a crucial 1-0 victory and keeping them hot on the heels of Serie A leaders Napoli. The Argentine striker, who had missed several earlier chances, erupted in celebration after his late winner, ending an eight-month home goal drought in the league.
The tension at the San Siro was palpable as Inter pushed for a breakthrough. Mkhitaryan’s strike appeared to have given them the lead, but VAR intervened, denying them the opening goal and keeping the scores level.
Inter had chances to put the game beyond doubt, but Stankovic produced some impressive saves to keep Venezia in the match. The drama continued until the final whistle, with Venezia seemingly snatching a late equalizer through Sverko. However, VAR intervened once again, denying the visitors a dramatic point and ensuring Inter held on for a crucial victory.
While pleased with the victory, Martinez was critical of the timekeeping inconsistencies that almost cost Inter two points. “We need to improve in these details,” he stressed, referring to both the need for clearer guidelines on added time and Inter’s failure to capitalize on their chances.
