Inter in command! In the 45+1 minute, there's another goal. Lautaro Martínez found the net with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the top right corner. He was assisted by Francesco Pio Esposito after a quick break. What an enchanting season! Lautaro Martínez has netted 11 goals in the UEFA Champions League during 2025, surpassing all other players in the competition for the 2025-26 period. Keep it up!
Total disarray for Union as Inter seizes control of the game. In the 53rd minute, Captain Hakan Çalhanoglu successfully converts the penalty with a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner. The penalty was awarded after Kevin Mac Allister committed a handball in the penalty area.
No need to say anything further! Inter sealed the match with a goal in the 76th minute. Francesco Pio Esposito found the net with a right-footed shot from the center of the box into the heart of the goal, assisted by Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Union SG's only prior UEFA competition encounter with an Italian side was a 1-1 stalemate against Roma during last season's Europa League league phase. Union SG had gone unbeaten in their last seven home group stage/league phase matches in UEFA competitions (W4 D3) before suffering a 4-0 loss to Newcastle on Matchday 2.
Inter has experienced just one defeat in their last 16 Champions League group stage/league phase matches (W11 D4). They have also managed to keep 10 clean sheets in their last 11 games at this level of the competition.
Inter forward Lautaro Martínez has netted ten goals in his last nine appearances in this tournament.
Alessandro Bastoni is on the verge of making his 50th appearance in the Champions League proper.
