Inter climbed to the top of Serie A with a commanding 4-0 victory over Como at the San Siro. The match began with an early chance for Inter, as Lautaro Martinez set up Nicolo Barella, but goalkeeper Jean Butez thwarted the attempt. Despite this, Inter's persistence paid off when Luis Henrique assisted Martinez to score from close range in the 11th minute.
Como had their first notable chance in the 53rd minute. Substitute Tasos Douvikas missed a shot at the back post after being set up by Jesus Rodriguez. Rodriguez continued to be a threat, delivering a cross that Yann Sommer struggled with, but Alex Valle failed to convert it into a goal. Inter capitalised on these missed opportunities by doubling their lead through Marcus Thuram, who scored
from Federico Dimarco's set-piece delivery.
Martinez had another opportunity but shot directly at Butez following good work from Henrique on the right flank. Inter extended their lead further when Hakan Calhanoglu scored a stunning long-range goal. The final goal came when Dimarco provided an accurate cross for Carlos Augusto, who finished emphatically.

The scoreline might seem harsh on Como, who managed 0.95 expected goals (xG) from 15 shots compared to Inter's 1.24 xG from 11 attempts. However, Inter's efficiency in front of goal was decisive. This victory marked Inter's tenth consecutive win against Como and highlighted their strong start to matches this season, having scored 12 first-half goals in just 14 league games.
Lautaro Martinez reached a significant milestone with his opening goal, marking his 150th involvement in Serie A goals since his debut season in Italy in 2018-19. This achievement underscores his importance to the team and his consistent performance over the years.
